    When it comes to desserts, few can rival the comforting and nostalgic appeal of a warm apple rhubarb crumble. But what if we told you there’s a way to elevate this beloved treat even further?

    A glass cup filled with layers of apples and rhubarb with a small scoop of vanilla and strawberry ice cream.

    Enter the sous-vide apple rhubarb crumble—a dessert that combines the sous-vide cooking technique’s precision with the timeless flavours of tart rhubarb and sweet apples.

    Honeycrisp apples and rhubarb, tossed with cinnamon, brown sugar, orange juice, and vanilla, then sous-vide for 75 minutes. The rhubarb melts in your mouth while the apple retains a lovely tender-crisp bite. Layered with granola, then topped with tiny scoops of strawberry and vanilla ice cream. A lovely, light fresh and very easy dessert, perfect for Mother’s Day. Also delicious topped with yogurt for a Mother’s Day brunch.

    Let’s dive into this super easy recipe!

    Ingredients

    Filling

    • Apples
    • Rhubarb stalks
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Brown sugar
    • Orange juice
    • Ground nutmeg
    • Vanilla

    For serving

    • Granola
    • Ice cream
    • Fresh mint

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    Preheat a sous-vide water bath to 142°F (61°C).

    Combine the filling ingredients into a large bowl and toss until the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and spices.

    Transfer the apple rhubarb mixture to a sous-vide bag. Seal the bag using a vacuum sealer, ensuring an airtight seal.

    Submerge the sealed bag in the preheated water bath and cook for 1 hour and 15 minutes. The precise cooking time will depend on the desired tenderness of the fruit. Cooking it for 1 hour will yield slightly firmer fruit, while 1.5 hours will result in a softer texture. The sous-vide technique ensures the filling cooks evenly and retains its natural juices. 

    Remove the sous-vide bag from the water bath and carefully open it, taking care not to lose any of the precious juices.

    Assemble the cups. Start with a layer of the apple-rhubarb mixture, then granola, then apple-rhubarb mixture, and top with more granola. Add a scoop of vanilla & strawberry ice cream and sprinkled with chopped mint! Also delicious topped with yogurt!
