Instructions
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the filling: Combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Stir until the fruit is evenly coated.
- Create the topping: Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts if using. Cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the crisp: Spread the fruit mixture evenly into the baking dish and cover with the oat topping.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
- Rest before serving: Let the crisp cool for 10–15 minutes to allow the filling to thicken.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Notes
For the best flavor, use fresh ripe strawberries and firm rhubarb stalks. If using frozen fruit, thaw and drain well before baking. The crisp can be prepared ahead and reheated before serving for an easy summer dessert.
