Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- For the crust & crumble topping: Combine flour, oats, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. With a rigid pastry blender, cut in the butter until well incorporated and pea-sized crumbles form.
- Firmly press half the mixture into an ungreased 9'' x 9'' pan. Set aside the remaining mixture.
- For the rhubarb & cream cheese filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and egg until very smooth, about 1 minute.
- Add vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture and blend just to combine.
- Fold in the rhubarb.
- Spread cream cheese/rhubarb filling over the pressed-in crust. Then sprinkle the remaining crust crumbles over the top of the filling.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until crumble topping is lightly browned. Let cool completely on a cooling rack. Enjoy right away, once cooled, for the crispiest crumble topping texture.
Notes
- Store in refrigerator. Serve with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.
- From my mom's recipe box, adapted from a recipe she cut out of the Coteau Shopper newspaper that was submitted by Vicki Showenberg.
