Ingredients

For the rhubarb mixture

  • 4 cups thinly sliced rhubarb Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor.
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar Adjust sweetness according to taste.
  • 1 Tbsp finely grated fresh ginger Alternatively, use a teaspoon of vanilla extract or seeds of a vanilla bean.
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch

For the crumble topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar Brown sugar can be used as a substitute.
  • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter At room temperature.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the rhubarb with the sugar, ginger, and cornstarch.
  • Divide the rhubarb mixture evenly between four individual baking cups.
  • In the same bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and butter, mixing with your fingertips until it has a coarse, crumbly consistency.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the rhubarb.

Baking

  • Set the cups on a baking tray to catch any drips and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is bubbling and the topping is just starting to turn golden.

Serving

  • Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, but the topping may lose some crunch. Consider adding other fruits or oats for variations.
