Description

A delightful tart combining the tangy flavor of rhubarb with a sweet, buttery crumble topping over a crisp pastry base.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 12 tablespoons cold water
  • 3 cups chopped rhubarb
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix 1 1/4 cups flour and 1/4 cup sugar. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add cold water gradually until dough forms. Press into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
  4. In another bowl, mix rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla. Spoon over the chilled tart base.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine oats, brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and melted butter to form the crumble topping.
  6. Sprinkle crumble evenly over the rhubarb filling.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
  8. Cool before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.

Notes

  • You can substitute some rhubarb with strawberries for a twist.
  • Chilling the dough helps prevent shrinking during baking.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
