FEATURED RECIPE

Every issue of Crumble is accompanied by a recipe suggested by a member of our network. In this issue we feature a recipe by Lisa Heldke, professor of philosophy at Gustavus Adolphus College (USA). 

Joann Breed’s Rhubarb Crunch (or Crumble) (or Crisp)

4 cups diced rhubarb

6 tablespoons flour

¼ cup rolled oats

¾ cup white sugar

¼ cup brown sugar

¼ cup butter

Mix together flour, oats and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Arrange the rhubarb on the bottom of a greased baking dish (not too deep). Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top and bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes, or until it is exactly the way you like it.
