Preheat oven to 190°C.

Place rhubarb pieces into a baking dish, sprinkle over sugar, butter and lemon juice, stir to combine then place in oven and cook for 20minutes.

Remove from oven and turn up the heat to 210°C.

Add sliced apples to rhubarb mixture, stir well to combine.

Place mixture into 6 individual ramekins; add a handful of topping to each then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.

Notes

  • I love rhubarb - it reminds me of cold nights at my grandparent’s house. Topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream it is hard to beat.
  • You need to peel the rhubarb otherwise it will have a stringy texture. Use a veggie peeler for the job - it doesn’t all have to come off, just concentrate on the tougher edges.
