  • 125 g Oats

Instructions

  • If you haven't already done so, make the stewed rhubarb using the recipe link in the ingredients. This can be done up to 3 days ahead of time. You will need the full amount of stewed rhubarb for this recipe.
    500 g Stewed Rhubarb
  • Preheat the oven to 180°c (160 fan/ Gas 4/ 350F).
  • Place the stewed rhubarb, sliced apple and chopped stem ginger in a 2-litre pie dish.

Notes

Top Tips:
  • To save time on the day of baking, you can make the stewed rhubarb up to three days ahead of time. It will keep perfectly fine in the fridge until you're ready to assemble and bake the crumble.
  • If you're a fan of an extra thick crumble layer, feel free to double the amount of crumble topping in the recipe. This will give you a wonderfully substantial layer that adds a crunchy texture to the dessert.
  • Whether you have forced rhubarb available in early spring or garden-grown rhubarb, both types work well for this recipe. The only noticeable difference lies in the color of the stems. Forced rhubarb tends to have a more vibrant hue, but the taste and texture remain equally delicious.
 
Variations:
  • Add 200g of sliced strawberries in place of the apple to make a rhubarb and strawberry crumble.
  • If you aren't so keen on ginger, replace the chopped stem ginger with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  • Add 50g of chopped walnuts to the crumble topping to add texture and crunch.
  • Add a handful of raspberries to the rhubarb crumble to give it a fruity boost. Blueberries would work too.
  • Make the crumble in 6 individual ramekins rather than one large dish.
