Ingredients

For the rhubarb crisp filling:

  • 6 cups (2 pounds) diced rhubarb (from 8 medium or 4 large stalks), sliced into 1/2-inch slices
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rose water
  • 3/4 teaspoons ground allspice
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

For the oat topping:

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup oats
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400, and lightly spray a 8-inch square pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced rhubarb, flour, sugar, rose water, allspice, and orange zest. Stir this mixture together very well.
  • Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish, and set aside.
  • In the same bowl that’s now empty, make the topping: add the flour, brown sugar, oats, allspice, and salt. Stir very well.
  • Pour the melted butter on top, and stir to make a crumble topping. You might have to clump it together with your hands a bit.
  • Scatter the topping evenly over the rhubarb, and slide it in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and bubbling around the edges.

Notes

Notes: 
You can use frozen sliced rhubarb for this (use the same amount), and do not thaw before baking.
Best enjoy the same-day it's baked, as it loses its crispness. Reheat in the oven, if necessary. Do not microwave.
