Apple and Rhubarb Crumble recipe

I have the perfect autumn/winter dessert for you!

This Apple Rhubarb Crumble is a delicious combination of perfectly spiced chunks of apple and rhubarb topped generously with a layer of sweet, buttery crumble.

The crumble topping is made up of butter, flour, oats, brown sugar, and a hint of cinnamon. I could literally eat that stuff on its own by the spoonful – it’s just SO GOOD.

Enjoy this crumble warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard, and you have the most comforting dessert.

If you’re a fan of crumble recipes, you need to add this apple and rhubarb version to you list. My family absolutely loved it, and I’m sure yours will too!

Ingredients you’ll need

• Apples: You’ll want 3 apples. I used Braeburn, but you can use your favourite. I also left mine un-peeled.
• Light brown sugar
• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Ground cinnamon
• Ground ginger
• Ground nutmeg

For the crumble topping, you’ll need:

• Unsalted butter
• Plain/all-purpose flour

How to make Apple and Rhubarb Crumble

To make this crumble, simply grab a large mixing bowl (or the oven dish you’ll be using) and combine the rhubarb, apples, sugar, flour, and spices until fully coated.

Spoon into a large ovenproof dish that is at least 2-inch deep, and bake for 10 minutes.

For the crumble, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Be sure not to combine to the point it starts to become doughy.

Stir in the oats, sugar, and cinnamon. Get your hands in there to really mix them together.

Sprinkle evenly over the rhubarb and apple mixture and bake for a further 30 – 40 minutes, or until the filling is tender and the topping is golden brown.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or custard.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

This Apple and Rhubarb Crumble is:

• super quick and easy to throw together
• perfectly sweet and loaded with warm spices
• delicious served warm with ice cream or custard
• the perfect autumn/winter dessert
• the MOST comforting dessert you’ll ever make!

How long will this crumble last? This crumble and any leftovers can be covered and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Can I freeze this crumble? Yes! This crumble also freezes well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, and warm up as desired.

Want to make individual servings of this crumble? Simply spoon the fruit filling into 4-oz ramekins, top with the crumble, and bake until the filling is tender and the topping is golden brown.

This recipe can easily be halved to fit a much smaller oven dish or if you don’t have many ramekins.
