Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dice the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rhubarb, sliced apples, granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly.
Pour the fruit mixture into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining rolled oats, brown sugar, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, and cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix the topping ingredients until they are crumbly and well combined.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
