👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the oven is fully preheated before baking. - 2
In a large bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
💡 Pro Tips: Taste a piece of rhubarb; if it's very tart, you might add a little more sugar. - 3
Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into a baking dish (approx. 20x20 cm or similar).

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar for the crumble topping.

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the entire surface is covered. - 7
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender and bubbling.
💡 Pro Tips: If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil. - 8
Let the crumble cool slightly for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
