Ingredients
Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or an 8x8 inch square dish for a thicker crisp.
- 2Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the quartered strawberries, rhubarb pieces, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour the fruit mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- 3Prepare the topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter. Using your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
- 4Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
- 5Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly and tender. If the topping browns too quickly, you can lightly tent it with aluminum foil.
- 6Remove from oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set slightly. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, you can make this gluten-free by using a 1:1 gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in the topping and ensuring your oats are certified gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
