Ingredients

  • 4 cups rhubarb chopped
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger grated or teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

For the Filling

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and grated ginger. Give it a good stir and set aside.

For The Topping

  • In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Mix the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar together well.
  • Add the melted butter to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture is crumbly.

Make The Crumble

  • Pour the rhubarb mixture into a 9-inch baking dish, pie dish, or oven-proof dish.
  • Sprinkle an even layer of the crumble mixture over the top of the tart rhubarb filling, covering it evenly.
  • Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender.
  • Remove the crumble from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips and Tricks

  • Choose Fresh Rhubarb: Fresh rhubarb is key to making a delicious crumble. Look for firm, bright red stalks that are free from blemishes. Avoid rhubarb that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Use Unsalted Butter: Using unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the crumble topping. If you only have salted butter on hand, reduce the amount of salt in the topping accordingly.
  • Mix The Crumble Topping Well: Be sure to mix the crumble topping well to ensure that all the ingredients are evenly distributed. This will help the crumble bake evenly and create a crunchy texture.
  • Don't Overmix The Rhubarb Filling: While it's important to mix the crumble topping well, you don't want to overmix the rhubarb filling. Overmixing can cause the rhubarb to break down and become mushy.
  • Adjust The Sweetness: The amount of sugar needed for this recipe may vary depending on the tartness of the rhubarb. Taste the filling before adding the crumble topping, and adjust the sweetness as needed.
