Make this rustic strawberry rhubarb crisp for a simple, buttery oat topping dessert that tastes like pie without the fuss. It is a fast summer baking option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and halved or quartered
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and strawberries. Add 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Toss gently to coat the fruit evenly. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the flour, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, rolled oats, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together with a fork.
  4. Cut in the cold butter pieces using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  5. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Do not press down.
  6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling thickly around the edges.
  7. Let the crisp cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set.

Notes

  • For an extra crunchy topping, use quick-cooking oats instead of rolled oats.
  • Serve this easy dessert warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • If your rhubarb is very tart, you may add one extra tablespoon of granulated sugar to the fruit mixture.
