Rhubarb Butter Crunch recipe

by Andrew on May 1, 2007

This recipe comes from Lovina Eicher who maintains a homestead in rural Michigan with her husband, Joe, and together they are raising their eight children. Lovina contributes snippets of her traditional Old Order Amish life in a weekly column, Amish Cook, that appears in various newspapers across the country.

Rhubarb Butter Crunch
Ingredients:

  • 3 cups fresh, finely chopped rhubarb
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour

Topping:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups raw rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine

Mix rhubarb, sugar and flour well and place in a greased baking dish. Combine the topping ingredients and sprinkle over rhubarb mixture. Bake at 370 degrees for 40 minutes. Serve warm with milk or cream (or ice cream – yum!).
