Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg into the crumble mixture. If you don’t have oats, you can substitute with a mix of crushed nuts or granola for a different texture. Ensure your rhubarb is tender by checking it during cooking; if it's tough, it may need longer. This recipe is easily adjustable for different fruits, making it versatile for seasonal changes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cobbler warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with State Fair Blackberry Pie for a dessert spread. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside Mom'S Waldorf Salad for a refreshing balance.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the cobbler with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For reheating, place slices in the microwave for about 30 seconds or warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. Enjoy it warm for the best texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen rhubarb and strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen rhubarb and strawberries can be used, but make sure to thaw and drain excess moisture before adding them to the dish. This prevents the cobbler from becoming too watery. Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of your frozen fruit.
What can I substitute for butter in the crumble?
You can use coconut oil or a plant-based butter alternative for a dairy-free option. If you prefer a healthier choice, unsweetened applesauce can also work, though it may slightly change the texture of the crumble.
How do I know when the cobbler is done baking?
The cobbler is done when the top is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges. A toothpick inserted into the crumble should come out clean. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes of baking to avoid over-browning.
