Old Fashioned Rhubarb Cobbler Recipe:
It’s rhubarb season. I spend the entire year marking rhubarb recipes in my vintage cookbooks. So when my Dad’s plant took right off the last couple weeks, I ran right out and started baking.
My first recipe this year is this easy rhubarb cobbler recipe that I pinned in My Shelby County Homemakers Cook book from 1980. It reminds me a lot of my Grandma’s Apple Crisp and Cherry Crisp, both recipes feature toppings without oatmeal.
How to Make Easy Rhubarb Crisp:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour and sugar; add diced rhubarb and stir to coat.
- Pour the rhubarb in the bottom of a baking dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
- Prepare the crumble topping by mixing flour, sugar and a beaten egg. Sprinkle the crumble over the rhubarb layer.
- Pour melted margarine over top. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.
- Eat alone or with vanilla ice cream.

Notes About Easy Rhubarb Crumble:
- Our particular variety of rhubarb plant has very green stalks. Your crumble may be more red in color if yours is a different variety. They are both tasty.
- If you don’t have a 2 quart baking dish, use an 8 x 8 inch or 9 x 9 inch instead.
- Rhubarb is very bitter in flavor. If you like a really sweet rhubarb dessert, add more sugar to the bottom layer that coats the rhubarb.
- Substitute butter for margarine if desired in this easy rhubarb cobbler.
- If you aren’t a fan or nutmeg, leave it out or replace with ground cinnamon.
