    The cooked fruit became too watery and the crumble topping got drowned in fruit juice and became mushy. Next time I will omit the added 3-4 tbs. water in the cooking step, or drain some fluid

    Delicious crumble. I didn't pre cook the rhubarb, and I added some chopped, syrupy stem ginger to it. I needed a few more oats and added a bit less sugar. Freshly cut rhubarb from a friend's allotment - the family loved it.

    Whilst I did double the topping mix the 2nd time I made it, you could get away with the amounts here if you used a deep and smallish diameter pie dish. The topping makes little cluster type crunchy topping and the whole thing is rather lovely and very easy to make. I found the topping a bit too…

    This is a cake mix not a crumble topping, added to which it would never cover that much fruit!!
