Top tips for making a rhubarb crumble with oats:

You could add a sprinkle of ground ginger or cinnamon to the topping if you want a hint of spice. You could also mix through some chopped nuts for added crunch.

Can you make rhubarb crumble with apples?
Yes you can make a crumble using a combination of apples and rhubarb if you don’t have the full quantity of rhubarb for the recipe. Given the tartness of the rhubarb you might like to use sweeter eating apples such as jazz or pink lady.
When is rhubarb in season?
Forced rhubarb is available from January to April. It is tender and has a wonderful bright pink colour. Field grown rhubarb is available until late Summer but the stems can have a paler, green colour.
How long does rhubarb last?
Fresh rhubarb will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks. If you have lots of rhubarb and want to freeze it, it’s best to cook it first. You could roast or steam it before freezing or preserve it as a pickle instead.
Give your crumble the presentation it deserves by using a gorgeous oven-proof dish that will look attractive when placed in the centre of your table. We love this one from Le Creuset and it’s available in lots of colours.
If you’d prefer a traditional apple crumble recipe we have an excellent option but if you’re ready for something a little different, this peach crumble is a great place to start. You might also like the Hairy Bikers apple and blackberry crumble.
