Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish or a similar-sized pie dish.
2. 2
   Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cut rhubarb and diced apples. Add granulated sugar, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
3. 3
   Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg. Mix well.
4. 4
   Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients for the topping. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining. Do not overmix.
5. 5
   Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow.
6. 6
   Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp, and the fruit filling is bubbly and tender when pierced with a knife. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving warm.
