Easiest Rhubarb Crumble Recipe - 1, 2, 3, Done!
Description
The recipe separates preparation into two parts: a crumble topping made by cutting butter into flour and mixing with sugar to create a coarse texture, and a filling of chopped rhubarb partially cooked with sugar to release juices and soften its sharpness. The filling is placed in a pie dish or baking pan, covered with the crumble, then baked at 400°F until the top turns golden brown and crumbly.
The resulting dessert features a contrast between the tender, juicy fruit layer and the crisp, buttery topping. Serving warm enhances the comforting qualities, and custard pairs traditionally to add richness and creaminess. The crumble’s texture and shape depend on how the butter is incorporated, with more rubbing yielding finer crumbs.
This recipe is easy to remember with its "1, 2, 3" quantities and doubles conveniently for more servings. It freezes well, allowing for advance preparation. Flour can be substituted with oat flour made from processed rolled oats for a gluten-free option without losing the essential texture.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the topping:
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 1 tick butter
- ¼ cup sugar
Filling:
- 1 ½ lb rhubarb
- ⅔ cup sugar
Instructions
Crumble Topping:
- Cut the butter into the flour with two knives, then rub with your fingers until you have a crumble texture.
- Stir in the sugar.
Filling:
- Chop rhubarb into small pieces.
- Partially cook with rhubarb with ⅔ cup of sugar.
Make the Rhubarb Crumble:
- Place the filling in the bottom of a 9" pie dish or 8" x 8" in pan.
- Sprinkle the topping on the rhubarb.
- Bake at 400°F (205°C) for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. Spoon into dishes and serve warm, but I'd highly recommend serving it with homemade custard.
Notes
- Remember the "1, 2, 3" ratio for topping ingredients; double to make larger portions easily.
- Rhubarb crumble freezes well, so leftovers can be stored frozen and reheated.
- For a gluten-free alternative, replace flour with oat flour made from blended rolled oats.
