Equipment

- Large mixing bowl
- Medium mixing bowl
- Pastry blender or fork
Ingredients
Rhubarb Filling
- 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Crumble Topping
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup cold butter, cubed
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar and flour; mix well to coat the rhubarb evenly.
Making the Crumble
- In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and cinnamon for the topping.
- Cut in the cold, cubed butter using your fingertips or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Baking
- Pour the rhubarb mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping over the rhubarb mixture, ensuring it is distributed well.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender and bubbly.
Serving
- Let the crumble cool slightly before serving; it is delicious warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For best results, use fresh rhubarb. If using frozen, do not thaw it first, but you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time. A sprinkle of nutmeg can also enhance the flavor.
