How to Make Sweet Rhubarb Compote Tarts

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Defrost .

   If your phyllo cups were stored in the freezer, you’ll want to pull them out now to let them defrost a bit while you wash and brush your rhubarb stalks.
2. 2

   Step 2: Chop off either end of each stalk and dice.

   To avoid the awkwardness of the curve of the stalk, halve the stalks, then quarter each half length-wise and chop from there.
   
   Wash and dice the apple as well. , Heat a large lidded pan (lid off) at medium high.
   
   When the pan gets hot, spoon your diced rhubarb and apple mixture into the pan.
   
   Add 4 teaspoons of organic granulated sugar and stir well.
   
   Turn the heat down to medium low, and cover.
   
   Let it cook for five minutes. , After the compote’s five minutes are up, pull the lid off and check it out.
   
   You should start to see at least some progress towards the mixture starting to look a little bit like apple-sauce! Stir some more, cover up again and depending on how done it looks, you may need to give it 5 more minutes and check back. (It is recommended to cook just until a few solid chunks of rhubarb and apple are left, and when it looks much like an apple-sauce.) Turn the burner off and remove the compote from the heat. ,, Put about 1 1/2 tablespoons or so in each cup.
   
   Once you’ve filled the cups, take 4 teaspoons of brown sugar in a little bowl and sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar on top of each cup until you’ve gotten a little bit into each one. , You can make as many or as few tarts as you’ve got shells for. ,,
