How to Make Julie's Rhubarb Bars Or Crisp
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Add the cornstarch mixture to the rhubarb mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 5-7 minutes).
- While the rhubarb mixture simmers, prepare the crumble topping. In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Press 3/4 of the crumble mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Pour the cooked rhubarb mixture evenly over the crumble layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble topping over the rhubarb filling.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
