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.
Simmer the apple and rhubarb as per the recipe below then place into a baking dish and top with the crumble mixture.
