Note

Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw and drain excess liquid before baking to prevent a soggy topping.

For added depth, mix 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon into the rhubarb layer before adding the sugar.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, custard, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven before serving.
