Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray bottom and sides of pan.

Filling mixture: In a large pan, combine rhubarb, sugar, lemon peel and vanilla. Boil for approximately 4 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water together. Stir until smooth. Add to the cooked rhubarb mixture. Continue cooking until thickened, approximately 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat. Pour cooked rhubarb mixture over crust. Sprinkle remaining crust mixture on top. If desired, sprinkle almonds on top.
Bake 35-40 minutes. Allow to cool before cutting bars.
