The sweet flavor in this rhubarb crumble is unforgettable. It’s made with oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon to give you a wonderfully spicy and delicious desert. Take it to a summer barbecue or winter potluck, and it will be one of the first desserts to disappear. Rhubarb is pretty inexpensive to buy, especially when you get it in season. If you love gardening, consider growing some, and you’ll be surprised by how easy it is to take care of.
