A simple recipe for a classic summer dessert featuring a tart strawberry and rhubarb filling topped with a buttery, crunchy oat crumble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups chopped rhubarb (about 1 inch pieces)
  • 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sliced strawberries, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the topping.
  5. Cut the cold butter cubes into the dry topping mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit filling in the baking dish. Do not press the topping down.
  7. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling thickly around the edges.
  8. Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly.
  9. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a nut variation, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture.
  • If you prefer a gluten-free topping, substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of your preferred gluten-free all-purpose blend.
  • Serve this crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream.
