4-Ingredient Amish Rhubarb Crunch

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Diced fresh rhubarb 6 cups
Granulated sugar 1 cup
White cake mix (dry) 1 box (15/25 ounces)
Unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup (1 stick)

Step-By-Step Directions:

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

  2. Layer the rhubarb: Spread the diced rhubarb in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared dish.

  3. Sweeten: Sprinkle the granulated sugar uniformly over the rhubarb to help draw out its natural juices during baking.

  4. Add the cake mix: Evenly scatter the dry white cake mix over the sugared rhubarb layer without stirring.

  5. Drizzle butter: Drizzle the melted butter slowly over the dry cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible to create a golden crust.

  6. Bake until bubbling: Bake on the center rack for 35 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the fruit layer is bubbling around the edges.

  7. Rest and serve: Allow the dish to cool for 15 to 20 minutes so the fruit juices thicken before scooping. Serve warm or at room temperature.
