If your cure for spring fever is that first bedazzling bite of rhubarb, here’s a gem you’ll love: a throw-together crisp that’s as elegant and spectacular as it is casual and tasty. The beehive of phyllo only looks like a lot of work. In reality, it might be the easiest phyllo dessert you’ll make.

Ingredients
COMBINE
- 6 cups Sliced rhubarb (about 1¾ lb.)
- 1 Gala or fuji apple, cored and diced (about 1 cup)
- ⅔ cup Granulated sugar
