Easiest Rhubarb Crumble Recipe - 1, 2, 3, Done!

Rhubarb crumble blends tart chopped rhubarb sweetened and partially cooked with sugar, topped with a simple buttery flour crumble mixture and baked until golden. The topping combines flour, butter, and sugar rubbed into a crumbly texture. This dessert offers a balance of the juicy, tangy rhubarb filling with a crisp, buttery crust. It’s best served warm, often alongside custard.

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:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the butter into the flour with two knives, then rub with your fingers until you have a crumble texture.
  2. Stir in the sugar.
Filling:
  1. Chop rhubarb into small pieces.
  2. Partially cook with rhubarb with ⅔ cup of sugar.
Make the Rhubarb Crumble:
  1. Place the filling in the bottom of a 9" pie dish or 8" x 8" in pan.
  2. Sprinkle the topping on the rhubarb.
  3. 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.
