Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups rhubarb
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Mix well to coat the rhubarb evenly with the sugar and spices. Set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the crisp topping by mixing the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg.
Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry topping mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract to evenly distribute flavor throughout the topping.
Pour the rhubarb mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture, making sure to cover the fruit completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
