How to prepare Apple, rhubarb and ginger crumble

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Mix the apples, rhubarb, ginger, sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
3. While the fruit mixture is resting, start making the crumble. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, butter, and salt in another bowl. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Transfer the fruit mixture into a baking dish. Spread the crumble mixture evenly over the top.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the fruit is bubbling.
6. Allow the Apple, Rhubarb and Ginger Crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips

1. For a more intense ginger flavour, you can add a teaspoon of ground ginger to the fruit mixture.
2. If your rhubarb is very tart, you may want to add a little extra sugar.
3. The Apple, Rhubarb and Ginger Crumble is best served warm, but it can also be enjoyed at room temperature.
