**Ingredients:**
– 4 cups of fresh rhubarb, chopped
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of rolled oats
– 1/2 cup of brown sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed

**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss the mixture together until the rhubarb is evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

5. Bake the Rhubarb Crumble in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the rhubarb is bubbling.
