One of my lovely patient's requested for this recipe. I was going to take the easy option and find a recipe online to give to her but once I started looking, my own ideas and thoughts for an Apple & Rhubarb Crumble started to take shape so I created a recipe of my own. Without pumping my tyres too much or creating great expectations, I must admit, it's pretty darn delicious. Also, it's got heaps of fruit and fibre in it without too much sugar or butter - it's a winner!

Ingredients
Filling- 6-8 stalks of rhubarb chopped
