Ingredients

• For the Crust:
• - 1 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
• - 1/4 teaspoon salt
• For the Filling:
• - 2 cups diced rhubarb
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• - 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• - 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• - 1/4 cup water
• For the Crumble Topping:
• - 1 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, and salt for the crust. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until slightly golden.
4. In a saucepan, combine the diced rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water for the filling. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
5. Spread the rhubarb filling evenly over the partially baked crust.
6. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cold butter for the crumble topping. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
7. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the rhubarb filling, covering it completely.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve and enjoy!
