  This was delicious. The pears work really well with the rhubarb. I didn't have any Grape Nuts or Clusters, so I substituted with pecan nuts and raisins. Highly recommended recipe.

  Great crumble, the wholemeal flour and oats really work well - I must get some grape nuts to try next time. I didn't add as much sugar to the fruit as they said and used a squeeze of lemon rather than orange. My daughter (5) asked for more, my son (3) only liked the crumble!!

  Absolutely fantastic crumble and very quick to make.Substituted the cereal and some of the flour with ground almonds and also added roughly chopped pecan nuts - lovely! Also, only added a fraction of the sugar suggested to the fruit.

  This is a lovely crumble topping. I reduced the butter and sugar a little and it was still delicious.

  delicious recipe, and I don't add any sugar at all and use a plant sterol spread as fat;I've been using grape nuts for ages both as breakfast cereal and as a topping, wonderful stuff; HOWEVER,I now find that Tesco and Sainsbury have stopped stocking it, so this is also a plea for information about where I can obtain this delicious and versatile cereal!

  Was good, used slightly less butter and about half the sugar and was nice and tart in flavour.

  Have made this several times and this is really yummy, a really different crumble. Lemon rind/juice with the fruit is just as nice. The sweet 'flapjacky' chewiness of the crumble goes perfectly with the tartness of the rhubarb. Custard is a classic partner for crumble but chilled creme fraiche is nicer in my opinion!

  Really wonderful! I used porridge and clusters in the topping, which worked very well. I liked the way soem of the rhubarb stayed firm while some went all squishy. Very very good. I used half the sugar on the fruit and it came out great and not too sweet.

  Loved this crumble, followed the recipe, except I did not use the clusters. Came out absolutely fabulous and was gone in no time.

  Improvised a bit using what I had in the cupboard. Nevertheless received very positive feedback from my partner ... the Yorkshire Crumble Critic! Highly recommended.

  Worked really well. Used 50g sugar for the fruit and 70g sugar for the topping and it was possibly too sweet even then!

  The suggestions on this recipe were really great, thanks for posting them people! I also reduced the sugar by half. I didn't have grape nuts or clusters so just added a bit more muesli and some chopped up hazelnuts (which toasted nicely and were very tasty). I did think there were perhaps a few too many flavors though, so might leave out the orange next time, although it was very nice. I had to add extra flour to the crumble mix as it was a bit too sticky, perhaps due to the lack of cereal in it, and it turned out a bit denser than usual, so might do half white flour and half wholemeal next time. I might actually try following the recipe accurately at some point as well, if I can find suitable cereal.
