ingredients
- 2 lbs rhubarb, chopped into 1/2 in pieces
- 1⁄4 cup sugar (superfine)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3 tablespoons vanilla sugar (can substitute ordinary sugar)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
directions
- Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F
- Heat the rhubarb in a pan on medium to medium low with the 1/4 sugar, 1 T butter, vanilla, and cornstarch for about 5 minutes, until the rhubarb is glossy and everything has melted together. Transfer to an 8 1/2 in pie plate (approx. 1 1/2 in deep).
- To make the crumble topping, place the flour and baking powder in a bowl and rub in the butter until it is thoroughly combined, with a texture like soft crumbs.
- Using a fork, stir in the sugars. Spread evenly over the fruit, attempting to cover all of it. (Exposed parts will bubble up). Bake on the sheet for 35-45 minutes. It's okay if it bubbles over a bit, this is what the pan is for.).

I served this tonight as a dessert with Dark Cocoa Cayanne Pepper Cookies and the sweet and sour of this rhubarb crumble was so good with this combination! I will continue to make and serve with a little topping but this dessert is so easy to make and prepare for company. I wouldn't change a thing.Thanks for posting! If you want a little more color use red food coloring.

I live in Chattanooga with my daughter. I work at a used bookstore, and I love to read pretty much everything, especially cookbooks. Some of my favorite cookbooks are those of Nigel Slater, Barbara Kafka, Thomas Keller, and Nigella Lawson, plus the Moosewood series. I think perhaps my biggest pet peeve is food snobbery, and indeed snobbery in general. I love trying new things so much that I rarely make the same dish twice.
Oh, a big thank you to all who have reviewed my stuff recently. I am currently without premium membership and unable to tell you so on an individual basis.
