Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or an 8x8 inch square dish for a thicker crisp.
  2. 2
    Prepare 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.
  3. 3
    Prepare 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.
  4. 4
    Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
  5. 5
    Bake 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.
  6. 6
    Remove 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen fruit for this crisp?

Yes, you can use frozen strawberries and rhubarb. Do not thaw them before mixing with the other filling ingredients; simply add them frozen. You may need to add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time, and the filling might be a bit juicier.

How should I store leftover crisp?

Store any leftover crisp covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave or oven until warm.

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.
