Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine rhubarb, apples, sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir gently to coat the fruit evenly.
In another bowl, combine flour, oats, and sugar. Add the cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a greased 9×9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit.
Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Don’t overmix the crumble topping to ensure a light, crispy texture.
If the topping gets too dark, cover the crumble with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven.
Make-ahead options: Assemble the crumble and refrigerate before baking, adding 10-15 minutes to the bake time when cooking from cold.
