Ingredients

• 4 cups rhubarb
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground cardamom. Mix well to coat the rhubarb evenly with the sugar and spices. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, prepare the crisp topping by mixing the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, salt, and ground nutmeg.

Step 4

Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry topping mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Stir in the vanilla extract to evenly distribute flavor throughout the topping.

Step 6

Pour the rhubarb mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture, making sure to cover the fruit completely.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the crisp cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
