Old Fashioned Rhubarb Crunch
- Crunch Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (GF option to sub oat flour)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Rhubarb + Syrup
- 4 cups diced Rhubarb
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or tapioca starch)
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mix the topping ingredients until crumbly. Press 1/2 to 3/4 of the topping into a greased 8" pan.
- Cover with the rhubarb.
- Make the syrup: Put just a portion of the water into the cornstarch and mix - this will prevent lumps. Then add the remaining water, sugar and vanilla. Heat on the stovetop over medium heat until the liquid begins to thicken into a syrup. About 5 min.
- Pour the syrup over the rhubarb. Top with remaining crunch topping.
- Bake at 350u0b0 for 40 minutes.
- NOTESrn*This recipe is fantastic + sweet, but I would suggest cutting back on the sugar within the crunch and the syrup. I find that most old fashioned recipes are overly sweet for my taste. I also only used 3/4 of the syrup.
