Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine diced rhubarb, sliced apples, 1 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon minced crystallized ginger, and 2 tablespoons flour. Toss well to coat the fruit.
  4. Transfer the fruit mixture into a greased 9-inch pie pan or baking dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 cup oatmeal.
  6. Cut 4 tablespoons of cold butter into the dry topping mixture using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Spread the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture.
  8. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.
  9. Serve warm.

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.
