Ingredients:

• 4 cups sliced rhubarb
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons flour

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• ½ cup rolled oats

For a crispier topping, broil the dish for an additional minute or two at the end of baking. Watch closely to avoid burning. Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream make a delightful accompaniment to this warm crumble.
