Tart rhubarb and apples, sweetened and spiced and topped with oatmeal crunch, make an easy dessert.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
- 2 cups diced rhubarb
- 2 cups sliced apples
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, spices, and melted butter. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. Arrange the rhubarb and apples evenly on top. Cook the white sugar, water, cornstarch, and vanilla until thick; pour over the rhubarb and apples. Sprinkle the remaining oatmeal mixture on top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
