Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch or 9x9 inch baking dish.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the cut rhubarb and quartered strawberries. Add the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- 3In a separate medium bowl, prepare the oat topping. Combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk well to combine.
- 4Add the cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Use your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- 5Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish. Place the baking dish on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips).
- 6Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown and crispy. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil. Let the crisp cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen fruit?
Yes, you can use frozen rhubarb and strawberries. Do not thaw them before mixing with sugar and flour; simply increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and tender.
How do I store leftovers?
Leftover crisp can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or a warm oven for best results.
Can I make this gluten-free?
To make this gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour in both the filling and topping with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend (ensure it contains xanthan gum) and use certified gluten-free rolled oats.
