How to Make Classic Rhubarb Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon ground mace. Gently toss to coat.
  3. Pour the rhubarb mixture into a deep 9-inch pie plate.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb filling.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender. If the topping browns too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
