Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Description
This Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp starts with a fruit filling made from fresh sliced rhubarb and strawberries mixed with lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch for thickening. The topping blends flour, old fashioned oats, white and brown sugars, salt, and cold butter cut into small cubes, combined until crumbly. This mixture creates a textured, golden crust after baking.
Baked at 350°F until the topping is golden and the fruit filling bubbles, the dessert offers a mix of soft, juicy fruit and crisp, slightly chewy oat topping. The lemon juice brightens the tartness of the rhubarb and sweetness of the strawberries, balanced by the sugars in both filling and crumble.
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is traditionally enjoyed warm, often with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream to add creaminess. The recipe timing depends on the baking vessel size, with smaller skillets baking faster than larger dishes. Ensure the top is golden and the filling bubbly as doneness indicators.
Ingredients
For The Filling:
- 10 ounces rhubarb about 2 cups, sliced
- 10 ounces strawberries about 2 cups, sliced
- lemon juice of half
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
For The Crisp Topping:
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats not quick cooking
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons butter cut into cubes (1/2 stick, unsalted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Combine all ingredients for the filling in a bowl, toss together until mixed. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine all ingredients for crisp topping. Mix together until incorporated and mixture resembles wet sand (I use my hands for this, but you can use a fork if you prefer).
- Pour the filling mixture into a baking dish (I used 2 six and a half inch cast iron skillets, but you can also use one 8x8 inch baking dish).
- Bake until top is golden and filling is bubbly. In the two smaller baking dishes this took 30 minutes. If you use a larger baking dish, it may take 45 minutes to an hour.
- When done, allow to sit for a few minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Oven temperatures and baking dish size affect crisping times; watch for a golden top and bubbling filling.
- Vanilla sugar can be used in the topping to add extra flavor if available.
