Crumble is generally a high-sugar treat, but you can cut the sugar content in half by making it yourself. Rhubarb crumble is a real treat for kids - not only is it delicious, but kids love the colour, and it's a great alternative to apple.
Preparation Time: 2 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Makes: 10 servings
Ingredients
100g fresh rhubarb
60g granulated/caster sugar
80g unsalted butter
80g plain flour
100ml water
Method
Add the butter, sugar and flour to a food processor and pulse until a crumble-like texture forms.
Chop the rhubarb into chunks and add to a saucepan of simmering water. Cook for 10 minutes.
Transfer the rhubarb to a large Pyrex dish and sprinkle 2 tbslp of sugar on top.
Top the rhubarb with the crumble and place in the oven for 30 minutes at 170 degrees/gas mark 3.
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving to make slicing easier.
Ideally serve with a dollop of vanilla ice cream, or custard. To save on mess (kids get ice cream everywhere), however, serve alone, which is just as enjoyable.
Incredibly simple to throw together, a rhubarb crumble is sublime, yet wholesome and really hits the spot, for kids of all ages.
