rhubarb crunch

The original recipe calls for oats, and we were half way into making it one day when we realized we didn't have enough in the pantry. But I did have some ginger snap granola! A happy accident, and a little tweaking of the method turned this good recipe into something special -- the best rhubarb crisp we've ever had! There may be one other little secret to its success: my husband makes this one, with rhubarb from his garden :)

    NOTES: You may use fresh or frozen rhubarb successfully in this recipe. If your rhubarb is fresh, use the water as directed. If your rhubarb is frozen, reduce the water by half. If you can't find ginger granola, you might try adding crumbled ginger snap cookies, or just use oats instead, and add about 1/2-3/4 tsp. of ginger to the crumble mix. This recipe is easily made gluten free by substituting the flour for your favorite gluten free all purpose flour.
