Customization & Serving
While fresh rhubarb is key for that distinct tartness, you could experiment with dried cranberries or chopped apricots for a similar tart-sweet profile if rhubarb isn't available, though the texture will differ. For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground ginger alongside the cinnamon, which both complement rhubarb beautifully.
