Rhubarb Crips

Sorry to for anyone that is sick of rhubarb crisps, but I can't find a good recipe anywhere and I am in need of one. I know we received one in our boxes a year or so ago... can someone please post one? Bonus points if it can be easily veganized!!!
THANK YOU!

  1. Mira,
    The crisps I've made have butter - if you are vegan, you would know the best substitute better than I would! So here goes:

    5 cups fruit, chopped (I used a pound of rhubarb with some strawberries and blackberries - you could do all rhubarb or whatever combo you want of course). Toss fruit with 1 c. sugar, 3 T. cornstarch, pinch salt, 1/4 t. cinnamon. Spread in bottom of 8x8 pan. Topping: 2/3 c. brown sugar, 5 t. cold butter cut up, 1/2 c. rolled oats, 1/2 c. flour, 1/2 c. chopped nuts (I used pecans), dash salt. Combine topping ingredients in food processor or by hand with a pastry blender or fork. Crumble over fruit. Bake until topping is browned and fruit is tender, 30-40 min.

    This is a combination of two recipes from Bittman's How to Cook Everything: the Apple Crisp and the Rhubarb Pie. But it's tasty, great with vanilla ice cream. Or does that go without saying?

  2. Oops just realized vanilla ice cream was kind of a dumb suggestion for a vegan! Sorry!

  4. I just made one from Food and Wine this weekend, and it was a hit! Not vegan though.
