Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch pan with cooking spray or butter.
Spread chopped rhubarb evenly across the pan and sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar.
In a medium bowl, combine sugar, melted butter, ¾ cup flour, and salt. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Gradually add the remaining ¼ cup flour until the mixture forms small clumps.
Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over rhubarb. Top with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream or cold the next day for breakfast.
Notes
Cinnamon Sugar: To make a larger batch, mix 1 cup sugar with ½ cup cinnamon, and use about ¼ cup for this recipe. For a small batch, mix ¼ cup sugar with 1 tbsp cinnamon.
Pan Size: This recipe fills an 8x8-inch pan. Double everything for a 9x13 pan (and a crowd).
Flavor Boost: Add ½ tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the crumb mixture for extra warmth.
