In reply to Denise. Without being in your kitchen with you, it can be hard to know for certain. But my guess is that you're pressing down very firmly. I don't press the crust into the pan very much at all, just lightly. You might also make sure you aren't using more than half of the crust in the bottom layer.

My mom gave me this recipe years ago. But from time to time I have a problem with the bottom layer becoming hard as a rock. It seems more lately. What am I doing wrong? I read somewhere not to melt the butter for the mixture? Help? Thank you

had 8 cups of rhubarb so instead of a bottom layer I used 13×9 pan and almost doubled the filling. OMG soooo delicious. Sadly though due to moisture of rhubarb and weather the crunch didnt stay as long but still wonderful!

Can I use apples and rhubarb instead of just rhubarb or even just apples?

This is so delicious! I love the bottom crust. Even friends who don’t like rhubarb love this!
