Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups rhubarb
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Wash the rhubarb and cut it into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the bread crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Stir the melted butter into the bread crumb mixture until well combined.
Spread half of the bread crumb mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the chopped rhubarb on top of the bread crumb base, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the vanilla extract and lemon juice over the rhubarb for added flavor.
Top the rhubarb layer with the remaining bread crumb mixture, ensuring the rhubarb is fully covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
