This rhubarb and apple crumble is sweet, tart, and very satisfying.
This twist on a classic rhubarb crumble (opens in new tab) is the ultimate British pudding as you can use home-grown rhubarb, at its best in the late springtime, and a collection of apples. And this rhubarb and apple crumble is so easy to make, so it's perfect if you need to whip something up in a bit of a hurry. It primarily uses store cupboard ingredients along with butter and fresh fruit. While you can serve it on its own for a simple flavour, we recommend pairing it with hot custard or with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
