Note
Storage: Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Substitutions: For a vegan version, use vegan butter or coconut oil for the topping. If you prefer less spice, reduce the amount of crystallized ginger.
Tip: Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture. Ensure rhubarb is trimmed of leaves, which are toxic.
Variation: Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the topping for extra crunch.
