  Very easy to make, and lovely and thick from cooking down the fruit first. The hazelnuts are delicious, and the ginger adds some real interest. The amount of crumble topping may be a little over the top- I cut out quite a lot of the butter.

  Far too much butter, would suggest adding less. I had to add tons more flour in order to rub the butter in. Other than that it was delicious!

  Quite nice but I have had better. I also had to add loads of flour to soak up the butter, which was a mistake, as it made the crumble too floury. I also prefer a ratio of around 1:3 crumble to fruit, where as this is more crumble than fruit.

  After the above comments, I used the fruit filling from this recipe and the topping from this one http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1139654/oaty-apple-crumble. I couldn't get the fruit mixture to "dry off" when sauteing and so ended up with overcooked rhubarb. The end result was okay though as the apple kept its shape well and the topping was very good.

  Not a fan, far too much butter and the rhubarb ended up stewed. The ginger and cinnamon are nice and warming but hardly a revelation! "Like your mother used to make - only so much better"? Um, no.

  The recipe is vague and some specificity to the actual amounts of rhubarb, other optional choices for the apples and the rough size of dishes or dish to be used would be better. A serious lacking for the recipe is sugar, if you don't cook rhubarb with some sugar it will be very bitter when cooked. Be sure to add two or three spoons of sugar to the pot when you are "stewing" rather than "saute-ing" the rhubarb and apples as the honey is definitely not enough to sweeten it adequately...

  Tasty recipe and the spices were good with the fruit, but again I agree there was far too much butter in the topping - if only I'd read the comments above before making it I might not have had such a lumpy topping! My rhubarb was also too stewed - next time I will saute the apples for a little while first before adding the rhubarb. I'll make it again though, just needs a few tweaks and then it might get a 4.5 or a 5* rating!

  I cut down on the flour and substituted oatmeal, reduced the butter and added craisins (dried cranberries) to the fruit mix and it was great.

  I think that the reviewers perhaps missed the instruction to take a knob of butter from the 150 grams and then use the rest for the crumble topping, because the one I just made, despite switching almonds for hazelnuts and never getting rid of the liquid (because I used a pot instead of a pan probably), is just yummy.
