Chef's Tips
- To prevent a soggy bottom, ensure the 🍓 rhubarb is thoroughly tossed with the 🌾 cornstarch, as this helps thicken the juices during the baking process.
- For a deeper flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or ground ginger to the 🌾 oat crumble mixture.
- Do not over-process the dough; tiny pea-sized chunks of 🧈 butter should remain visible, as these create flaky layers when they melt in the oven.

Notes
- Ensure your 🧈 butter is very cold when making the crust to achieve the best flaky texture.
- The 🍓 rhubarb filling will look quite high before baking, but it will shrink significantly as the fruit releases its juices and softens.
- If the crumble topping starts browning too quickly, tent the pie loosely with foil for the final 15 minutes of baking.
