Rhubarb Apple Crumble

This recipe only needs 30 minutes in the oven, but is best if you allow it a few hours to set. We suggest making it in the morning, before it gets too hot today and then whipping it out tonight with a scoop of ice cream for the ultimate end of week treat.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup large-flake oats
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp cinnamon*
• 2/3 cup cold, unsalted butter

For the filling:

• 3 Gala apples, peeled, cut in ½ inch cubes
• 3 cups chopped rhubarb ½ inch thick
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• ¼ tsp cinnamon*
• ¼ tsp salt
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Position rack in centre of oven, then pre-heat to 375F.
2. Topping: Stir flour with oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Grate in butter and work in, using fingertips, until crumbly. Refrigerate.
3. Filling: Toss apples, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Transfer to an 8-in. baking dish or pan.
4. Sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Bake until top is golden and juices bubble around edges, 25 to 30 min. Let cool for 2 hr. Serve with ice cream.
