Chef's Tips
- Ensure the 🌶️ ginger and 🌶️ cayenne are distributed evenly throughout the 🍓 rhubarb to avoid hot spots in the pie.
- Serve with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or vanilla bean ice cream to balance the spicy notes.
- Use a light hand when mixing the topping; overworking it will lead to a dense crust rather than a light, crunchy crumble.

Notes
- The 🌶️ cayenne pepper provides a subtle warmth that complements the natural tartness of the 🍓 rhubarb.
- Do not skip the 🌾 cornstarch, as the moisture release from the fruit can be significant.
- If the crust edges brown too quickly, shield them with a thin strip of foil.
