Ingredients
  

Rhubarb filling

  • 3 cups diced fresh rhubarb , no larger than 1/2" ( NO LEAVES - THEY'RE POISONOUS )
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp allspice ( optional )
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Base and crumble top

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar ( or make your own )
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup salted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F
  • Grease 8x8 baking dish
  • Mix rhubarb filling ingredients in a bowl.
  • In another bowl, mix the dry ingredients for the Base and Crumble Top. Cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. If you don't have a pastry cutter, you can use two knives, or worst-case is just use a hand mixer and stop mixing when the mixture is a fine crumble.
  • Press half the Base into the buttered dish.
  • Fill with the rhubarb filling.
  • Top with the remaining oat mixture.
  • Bake until the rhubarb layer is set, approx 45 minutes.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, or fresh whipped cream.
