Ingredients:
For the Fruit Filling:
2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1-inch pieces
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the Crisp Topping:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Fruit Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and rhubarb.
Add the sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently to combine.
Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
3. Make the Crisp Topping:
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the chopped nuts (if using).
4. Assemble the Crisp:
Evenly spread the crisp topping over the fruit mixture in the baking dish.
5. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
6. Serve:
Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat!
Pro Tips:
✅ Add more texture: For extra crunch, add coconut flakes to the topping.
✅ Sweetness level: Adjust the sugar to taste, especially depending on the sweetness of your strawberries and rhubarb.
✅ Make it ahead: You can prepare the fruit filling and topping in advance, then assemble and bake when you’re ready.
