Method

  1. Roll out the pastry and use to line a deep 23cm/9in flan tin. Chop the rhubarb into 3cm/1in lengths and tip into a large bowl with the flour and sugar. Mix well, then tip into the pastry case, spreading the rhubarb to level it.
  2. To make the topping, mix together the flour, cinnamon, sugar and nuts. Add the butter, cut into small pieces, and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the rhubarb. Set aside until ready to bake, up to 6 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas 5/fan oven 170C. Bake the pie for 40-45 minutes until the topping is crisp and golden and the rhubarb is tender - test by spearing a piece of fruit through the topping with a knife. Serve warm or cold with single cream or vanilla ice cream.

    I made this to take to my sister-in-laws for Sunday tea. Was a huge success. Easy to make - may try it without the pastry base next time. I will also try it with plums.

    You could make this with a ready-made pastry case and stew the rhubarb filling for 10 minutes before. Assemble just before you bake it, cutting down the cooking time to 20-25 minutes. The filling is beautifully tart, and you could add a little ground ginger instead of cinnamon to the streusel topping for a warming alternative.

    To make this seasonal it would also be nice with stewed blackberry and apple too.
