Perfect for rhubarb season, this dessert brings rustic charm to any table while being incredibly simple to prepare.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks, then cut them into 2 cm (about 1 inch) pieces.
In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb pieces with 150 grams of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Mix well to coat the rhubarb evenly with the sugar mixture.
Transfer the sweetened rhubarb mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In another bowl, combine 100 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 grams of unsalted butter, 75 grams of brown sugar, 50 grams of rolled oats, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. This is your crumble topping.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the rhubarb in the baking dish, ensuring all the rhubarb is covered.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the rhubarb crumble warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side.
