Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and water. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the rhubarb becomes tender (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oats, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread half of the crumb mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, pressing it gently to form a crust.
Pour the rhubarb mixture over the crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture evenly over the rhubarb layer, making sure to cover it completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This dessert can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
