Baked Rhubarb Apple Cobbler Recipe

Simple Dessert with Apples and Rhubarb

This Baked Rhubarb Apple Cobbler makes a delicious warm dessert with apples and rhubarb with an optional dollop of whipped cream or ice cream!

If you have fresh rhubarb or frozen rhubarb in your freezer and fresh apples, here is a great idea for a healthy, comfort food dessert.

 Instead of granulated sugar as an ingredient, this apple recipe uses honey; and also calls for whole wheat flour.

Note - if you are using frozen rhubarb for this recipe, thaw it in a sieve over a bowl, on the kitchen counter the evening before, and discard the excess liquid.

4 cups chopped, fresh or * frozen rhubarb
3 cups peeled, sliced apples
1/4 cup liquid honey
grated rind of one lemon or orange, optional

Directions

FOR THE FRUIT BOTTOM

Grease or spray with non-stick cooking spray, a 9" x 13" oven baking dish.

Arrange the chopped rhubarb and the sliced apples evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.

Add the lemon or orange rind on top of the fruit in the dish (optional).

FOR THE TOPPING

In a large bowl, whisk or use a fork to mix together the egg, milk, melted butter, honey and the lemon or orange juice.

Add the whole wheat flour, chopped nuts, baking powder, baking soda and the salt to the egg mixture by sprinkling them on top of the wet ingredients, do not stir the dry ingredients in.

Then, gently stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula, stirring just until moistened and combined. Do not over-mix.

Pour the topping mixture evenly over the fruit in the baking dish.

Bake at 375° F for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cobbler comes out clean.

Makes about 10 - 12 servings of a healthy apple cobbler!

Serve warm or cool plain, or with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream.

ENJOY!
