A bit of oats, cinnamon, and rhubarb make for a scrumptious crumble pie!
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup shortening, melted
- 3 cups diced rhubarb
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon butter
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and salt; stir in oats and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Pat half of the mixture into a 9 inch pie pan; set aside remaining half for the topping. Arrange rhubarb in pie shell. Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon and water over rhubarb, then dot with butter. Spread remaining oat mixture over filling.
Bake for 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until rhubarb is tender.
