Slice the plouts like you would eat them and cut those slices in half. It is not necessarily to remove the skin. Slice the rhubarb into ½ inch pieces.
Combine the fruit, starch or flour, and sugar in a baking dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and flour. Add the butter. Using your hands rub the butter into the sugar/flour mix until it’s the texture of cornmeal.
Evenly distribute the topping on the fruit. Sprinkle on some demerara sugar on top (optional)
Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes or until the topping has browned and the fruit is bubbling. Allow to cool until the fruit sets up before serving. Can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature.
Notes
Want to make a single serving version in your air fryer.Here are the ingredients for that:
1 single pluot
½ cup chopped fresh rhubarb
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon tapioca flour
2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into cubes
⅛ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all purpose flour
Here are the instructions for that:
Place the pluot and rhubarb into your baking vessel. Sprinkle the 2 flours. Mix to combine.
Then in a bowl mix the brown sugar and flour together. Rub the butter in with your fingers until combined. Then sprinkle that over top the fruit.
Put into your air fryer at 325 degrees for 6-9 minutes or until the top is brown and the filling has reached 200 degrees
