How to Make Rhubarb Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup packed brown sugar and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 cup rolled oats to the butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Press half of the crumble mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Arrange 4 cups diced fresh rhubarb evenly over the crumble base.
  6. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup water until smooth.
  7. Bring the sugar mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Pour the thickened syrup evenly over the rhubarb.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the rhubarb and syrup.
  10. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb is tender. Let cool slightly before serving.
