Rhubarb Spiced Cobbler Recipe

My favorite Crock Pot Desert Recipe

Maybe I should call this recipe “Surprise” instead of Rhubarb Spiced Cobbler Recipe.

I was surprised I ate it, as I did not previously like Rhubarb
(but it did smell soooo good.)
I was surprised I loved it so much
(I’m a chocolate freak and there is none here to be seen)
I was surprised this recipe adapted perfectly to the Crock Pot

So there you have it, this is a total surprise to me all round. But it truly is delicious and worth a go.

This rhubarb recipe is a cobbler, which is similar to a crumble but has a layer of cakey type stuff between the fruit and the crumble.

I had cooked this heaps of times in the oven and really did not think it would turn out in the Crock Pot. But it was perfect.

There are a few more steps to this recipe, but it is not as complicated as it might look at first glance. It is pretty easy and definitely a recipe to make when you are trying to impress.

Rhubarb Spiced Cobbler Recipe
Ingredients
Fruit
1lb (400g)	rhubarb – cut into slight less than inch size pieces.
3	large pears (or apple) – cut into inch size pieces.
½ tbls	Orange Rind – finely grated (can omit)
½ tbls	Lemon Rind – finely grated (can omit)
½ tsp	mixed spice
¹/₃ cup	demerara sugar
2 tbs	marsala
1 tbs	orange juice
Batter
¹/₃ cup	self raising flour
2 tbls	plain flour
¼ cup	desiccated coconut
2 tbls	caster sugar
2	eggs, lightly beaten
2 tbs	milk
1 oz (25g)	butter – melted (just pop in microwave for a few seconds)
Topping
1 cup	bread crumbs
½ cup	demerara sugar
4 tbls	desiccated coconut
2 oz (60g)	butter – melted (just pop in microwave for a few seconds)
Method
1.	Put all the ‘fruit’ ingredients into the crock pot and stir to combine until rhubarb is coated well in sugar and liquid.
2.	Cover and cook for 2 hours on High.
3.	Next make the batter. Sift flours, coconut and sugar into a bowl. (all the chefs will get upset but I don't usually sift for this recipe:-).
4.	Beat egg, milk and melted butter (cooled a little and not bubbling), with a fork to combine.
5.	Pour this into flour bowl and stir until combined and batter is lump free. This batter will look very runny – that is good. (Sit aside while preparing topping).
6.	Combine all topping ingredients in a bowl, stir to distribute butter evenly.
7.	Using a spoon, pour the batter on top of the fruit in the Crock Pot. This should just cover the fruit.
8.	Sprinkle the topping on top of the batter (seems a lot, but works out).
9.	Cover and cook for 2 hours on High.
10.	Serve with cream and custard. Absolutely delicious.
Notes
