Rhubarb and Apple Crumble Recipe. A classic family favourite dessert that is so delicious and comforting. It is sure to be a hit!

Rhubarb always brings back fond memories of my childhood, my mum used to regularly serve us stewed rhubarb and custard. I spotted some rhubarb for sale in Woolworths the other day and I felt inspired to make a crumble. There is just something so comforting about this dessert, the heat of the crumble and coldness of the cream or ice-cream. I must admit I like to have it with both custard and ice-cream at once!  This is my twist, to a delicious childhood favourite, Apple & Rhubarb Crumble.

I so can’t wait to try the rhubarb and apple crumble. It’s my husband’s most favourite sweet and living up here on Tamborine Mountain, it’s grown by the bucketful (and sold at double the price down in Coles at Westfield Helensvale!) so cheap and plentiful to buy at the farm gate. Oh yum!!!
