Tuck into this hearty crumble pie after your Sunday roast dinner by celeb chef Simon Rimmer.
This delicious crumble pie is a really easy dessert, that's a combination of two types of dessert - a tart and a rhubarb crumble (opens in new tab). It's a great sweet for using up extra seasonal rhubarb you might have knocking about. And whilst our recipe includes making your own quick pastry, you can always use ready-made shortcrust instead to save some extra time. Make this pie in under an hour for a really lovely dinner party dessert that generously serves four or more. Just serve with cream, ice cream or custard.
