Adding Fruit to This Rhubarb Recipe

Strawberry is a classic flavor combination with rhubarb. Adding half strawberry in place of half the rhubarb in this recipe would work really well. Apples, pears, and blackberries can also make up to half the fruit in this crumble. If using a sweet fruit in addition to the rhubarb, consider decreasing the amount of sugar by 1/4 cup.

The Difference Between a Crisp and a Crumble

Crisps and crumbles are similar, and often the terms are used interchangeably. However, traditionally a crisp includes oats or nuts in the topping, and a crumble—like this one—does not.

How To Serve and Store Rhubarb Crumble

Serve this dessert warm, but let it sit for about a half hour after it comes out of the oven so it’s not too runny. Serve plain, or serve with fresh whipped cream, or yogurt on top. Or serve at room temperature or cold.

Store crumble covered at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator, tightly covered to preserve moisture, up to one week.
