    📝 Notes on the ingredients

    Rhubarb Filing

    • Rhubarb - fresh or frozen, chopped in 1 inch pieces. Do not use the green leaves.
    • Lemon Juice - fresh if you have it but I often will use bottled

    Topping

    • Oats - Old fashioned oats
    • Butter - chilled, cubed
    • Light Brown sugar - great for added sweetness

    🥣 How to make rhubarb crumble

    chopped rhubarb in a white bowl

    4. To make the topping, blend together the pieces of butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, flour, and salt until is crumbly using your fingertips or a pastry cutter.
    5. Crumble the topping over the rhubarb.
    6. Bake the rhubarb crumble at 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes until the rhubarb mixture starts to bubble and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
    7. Allow this easy rhubarb crumble to rest for a few minutes before serving.

    What to serve with the perfect rhubarb crumble

    Once you have baked this summer dessert and allowed it to rest for a few minutes to cool, you may want to add a garnish. Vanilla ice cream is a classic option as well as sweetened whipped cream. Another delicious flavor combination would be to offer strawberry ice cream or sorbet à la Mode.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Can you reheat rhubarb crumble?

    If you have any leftovers, reheat in the microwave in 15-second increments until heated through

    Can this be made ahead?

    Make this recipe up to 24 hours ahead of baking it. Add an additional 10 minutes to the baking time when baking a cold dish.

    Do you cook rhubarb before making crumble?

    It is not necessary to cook rhubarb before making crumble, but you can if you like. If you do cook the rhubarb, it will be softer and more tender, releasing some of the tartness rhubarb is known for.

    Precooking can be a good option if you are using rhubarb that is not very ripe. To cook rhubarb, simply cut it into pieces and simmer it in a saucepan with a little water or juice until it is soft.

    If you do not cook the rhubarb, it will retain its tartness and more of its crunchiness. This can be a good option if you like a more tart crumble.

    Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to cook the rhubarb before making a crumble is up to you. There is no right or wrong answer, it simply comes down to personal preference.
