Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
- 9×9-inch baking dish
- Mixing spoon
- Knife
- Cutting Board
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped rhubarb
- 2 cups sliced strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×9-inch baking dish by greasing it.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour, ensuring the fruits are evenly coated with the sugar and flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the diced cold butter and use your fingers to blend until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly in the greased baking dish, then sprinkle the oat crumble mixture on top, covering the fruit layer completely.
- Bake the crisp in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the fruit filling is bubbling, and the topping turns a golden brown color, indicating it’s perfectly baked.
- Once baked, serve the strawberry rhubarb crisp warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful finishing touch.

Notes
For a healthier version, substitute half of the sugar with honey or maple syrup.
Add a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the topping for extra crunch.
Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom to enhance the flavor profile.
Make sure to let the crisp cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the fruit filling to set.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to maintain the crispiness of the topping.
