1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
¾ cup oats
1 cup (½ stick) butter, melted
4 cups diced rhubarb
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12 × 8-inch glass baking dish.
In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and butter. Press three-fourths of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish. Spoon the rhubarb over the crust.
In a medium saucepan cook the granulated sugar, water, vanilla, and cornstarch, stirring until the mixture is clear. Pour over the rhubarb. Crumble the remaining flour mixture on top. Bake 1 hour. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
