This didn't quite work for me; although everyone raved about the taste, it was pretty much crumble soup. I made it for one of our Easter desserts and used gluten-free flour for the topping since one of our guests has a gluten allergy. I used a little over 3 cups rhubarb with frozen blueberries in an 8x8 baking dish. When I put the filling in the dish to bake it was thick but during the baking it thinned into soup. I would like to try again with fresh blueberries thinking that the frozen berries released too much juice (I had the same problem trying to make a pie with frozen blueberries once). I am glad I tried this since it tasted so good - our guest with the gluten allergy had three helpings! LOL Thanks for sharing!

This is a wonderful dessert! I made this primarily for my husband, who loves rhubarb and blueberries. I'm not a huge fan, but even I enjoyed this recipe. I did increase the rhubarb to 8 cups and adjusted the cornstarch accordingly. Delicious! :)

Yummy! We didn't have the apple juice, so I reserved 3 T of the rhubarb juice (from frozen pieces) and the recipe was delicious! I think I used too small of a pie pan because it overflowed, think this would work well in a 9 x 9 baking pan as well. Thanks!
