A quick and easy summer dessert featuring a perfectly balanced sweet and tart fruit filling topped with a crunchy, buttery oat crisp.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 3 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the halved strawberries and chopped rhubarb. Sprinkle the granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt over the fruit. Add the vanilla extract. Gently toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture into your baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture looks crumbly but holds together when pressed.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the fruit filling without pressing it down.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. If the topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  7. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to thicken.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe strawberries and firm rhubarb for best flavor. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan margarine. To prevent soggy topping, do not press topping down and ensure enough cornstarch is used. Let the crisp cool before serving to thicken the filling. You can add blueberries or raspberries for variation.
