Absolutely my favorite dessert, hands down! My Grandma always made rhubarb cakes, crumbles, crisps, etc and this one tastes just like one of hers! I haven't had one since she passed in '81 and BOY do I miss them! Thank you for posting a MAJOR KEEPER for me!!! I just adore rhubarb! I made exactly as directed with the exception of the nuts - I don't care for them so I omitted them.
