The tart of the rhubarb and sweetness of the berries and apple made this a winner at my house this weekend. My roommate and I ate nearly all of it in one sitting! I added a dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream. A perfect way to celebrate summer.
Oh yummm!!!!!!!
This was soooo delicious. I loved the addition of the walnuts to the crumble mix. They end up toasted and sooo delicious. And I have always liked the combination of strawberry and rhubarb (that is the standard combo I grew up with in Germany rather than the rhubarb and apple combo that is common here in Australia).
I served it with vanilla ice cream.
Will definitely make it again but next time with home made custard.
Unfortunately my kids wanted to eat the ice cream without the fruit, which is weird as they are happy eating fruit by itself. But once I got them to try it they did eat it.
