Rhubarb Brown Betty

The combo of chunks of rhubarb with bread crumbs, cinnamon and sugar doesn't sound like much of a dessert. But when cooked, something special happens and a wonderful treat emerges. Sweet and slightly tangy, this gooey rhubarb recipe is a must.

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup sugar
8 tablespoons butter, chilled and cut in chunks
4 slices firm bread
1 pound rhubarb, cut in chunks (about 3 cups)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a square 9 inch baking dish.
Sift flour, sugar, spices into a bowl. Cut the butter pieces into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse flour.
Place 3/4 cup of dry ingredients in bottom of pan.
Tear bread into small pieces. Toss bread and fruit together and spread in pan. Top with remaining dry mix.
Bake until browned about 35-45 minutes. May be served with cream, custard, or ice cream.

Hello everyone, thanks for the feedback and catching the mistake with the butter. As for the rhubarb: 1 pound of rhubarb = 3 cups chopped rhubarb or about 2 cups chopped cooked rhubarb. Thanks!
