Grandma Ethel’s Rhubarb Crisp

  4.1 – 7 reviews  • Rhubarb Crisps and Crumbles Recipes

For our family, rhubarb is referred to as “the nectar of the gods.” There is no better or more welcome gift from Mother Nature to help shorten long winters than rhubarb. I sincerely hope you appreciate it as much as we do because it’s a family favorite.

Use 6 cups of diced rhubarb. 1/3 cup of sugar Raisins 9 x 11 pan
Todd Holmes
The extra flour on the rhubarb ended up at the bottom. The topping became more of a very thick batter and did not add that crunchy top that a crisp should have. I will not make it again.
Rebecca Thomas
Love this recipe! Instead of the flour on top, I used 1/3 cup of oats. Delicious and soo easy
Amy Taylor
This is so good! Just like my grandma used to make. The only thing I would do differently is cut back the white sugar just a bit because I had a lot that sunk to the bottom and hardened.
Walter Williams
Easy and great. Sweet enough with half the sugar it asks for in the rhubarb. I mixed in a bit of rolled oats in the topping.
Chad Diaz
Made it as shown except used old fashioned oats (preferred). Perfect! I grew up with a smaller pan, but liked the 9 X 13, which made it thinner. Next time I may try it at 375 because I like a crispier crunchier topping.

Very nice dessert. Perfect blend of sweet and the sour Rhubarb. If I was to make this again I would add a tbsp or so of water to the rhubarb before adding the topping just to make it a little juicier. Personally, I prefer a topper that has rolled oats in it but having said that, this was a nice change.
