A delicious flavour combination, this rhubarb apple ginger crumble is simple to make and has a pleasant kick from the gentle zing of ginger. A generous bowlful with some custard and ice-cream is the perfect winter comfort food.
Tasting notes: CSR Rapadura Sugar has a deep natural caramel aroma which enhances the spicy ginger and nut flavours in this crumble. The CSR Raw Sugar is added to provide a subtle softer caramel back-note and distinctive crunch to the dish.
