I love rhubarb pie. I find it to be absolutely delicious. I know that not everybody shares my love of this dessert though. So you could imagine my delight when I was dating my husband and I found out that he loved it as well as many of my in laws. My grandma was the one that got me hooked on rhubarb pie and she makes one of the best I've had and she knows how much I love it, so I find it to be a special treat when I go to visit her and I find out we are having rhubarb pie. I talked my dad into growing rhubarb and so I have tried a few different recipes. Here is a good one that we tried out today.
Rhubarb Crisp
1cup flour
1cup brown sugar
3/4cup oatmeal
1/2cup butter, melted
4-5 cups raw rhubarb, sliced
1cup sugar

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Pour over the rhubarb. Sprinkle with remaining flour oatmeal mixture. Bake 350 for 45-60 minutes until bubbly and brown
