Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup cold butter
  • 4 cups diced rhubarb
  • 1 1/3 cups sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press half of the mixture into a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Set remaining crumb mixture aside for topping. Sprinkle rhubarb over crust; set aside.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch; gradually whisk in water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
  3. Remove from the heat; whisk in vanilla. Pour over rhubarb. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until bubbly and lightly browned. Serve warm with ice cream if desired.
