Preparation Time: 23 minutes
  • 1 pound rhubarb* (chopped into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 sweet red apples (such as Rome or Gala, peeled, cored and sliced)
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons Splenda®
  • 1 cup plain bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preheat broiler. In a large saucepan, combine rhubarb, apples, orange juice, cinnamon and 3 tablespoon Splenda®. Cover and cook over MEDIUM heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is just tender. Taste the mixture and add more Splenda® if desired. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, olive oil and brown sugar (2 tablespoons). Mix well to combine. Spread mixture on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Spoon half of the bread crumb mixture into the bottom of a shallow serving dish. Cover with the warm fruit mixture and top with remaining crumb mixture. Serve warm.
*When buying rhubarb, look for thin, crisp, dark pink to red stalks. Be sure to remove and discard the leaves before using since they’re poisonous.
