Ingredients

Rhubarb Filling

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 4 cups chopped rhubarb fresh or frozen
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crumble

  • 3/4 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cup oatmeal
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup flour or gluten free flour mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

For the Filling

  1. Cook this mixture until it is thickened and bubbly on low to medium-low heat. It usually takes about 20 minutes.

For the Crumble and Assembly

  1. Use a pastry blender or fork to get a crumbly consistency.
  2. Grease a 9 x 13 pan. Place 1/2 of the crumble mixture in the bottom of your pan and pat it down firmly. Now pour your rhubarb sauce mixture over the bottom crust. Place the remaining crumble mixture over the sauce and pat down, slightly. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.

  3. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. They are best to cut while they are still a bit warm.
