Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup large-flake oats

  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter

Filling

  • 3 Gala apples, peeled, cut in 1/2-in. cubes

  • 3 cups chopped Rhubarb, 1/2 in. thick

  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Position rack in centre of oven, then preheat to 375F.

  • Topping: Stir flour with oats, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Grate in butter and work in, using fingertips, until crumbly. Refrigerate.
