I was really excited to try this based on all the other reviews. I made it exactly as written, no substitutions.

As I was making it, it seemed like there was way too much topping in proportion to the filling, and I couldn't believe it called for an entire cup of brown sugar in the topping. I should have gone with my gut and could have eliminated about half of the brown sugar in the topping. It was very sweet - too sweet for my taste.

I see now that others doubled the rhubarb and reduced the sugar, but still rated this recipe as 5 stars. Seems like false advertising to me!

I doubled the rhubarb and reduced the white sugar to 3/4c and it turned out to be the perfect proportions - sweet and tangy. I I also subbed the flour for Bob's Gluten Free Flour mix for a GF guest. t got rave reviews at the party I took it to.

Really good. I followed others advice and doubled the rhubarb but not the topping, also reduced the sugars by a third. This is a great recipe that allows tweaks for those that want more tartness or more sweetness in their crisp.
