Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp
- Easy to prepare in under 30 minutes.
- Combines sweet and tart flavors for a refreshing dessert.
- Perfect for using seasonal fruits!
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb, diced
- 2 cups raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
How to Make
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced rhubarb, raspberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir until the fruits are well-coated, then transfer them into a greased baking dish. In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Spread the oat mixture evenly over the fruit layer. Bake for about 30–35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling. Let it cool slightly before serving.
Tips
- Use fresh rhubarb when in season for the best flavor.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth in the crisp topping.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.
Make-Ahead
You can prepare the fruit filling the night before and assemble it with the topping before baking. This makes for a quick dessert option after dinner!
Storing
Store leftover Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing
To freeze, cover the prepared and cooled crisp tightly with aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, bake directly from frozen, adding extra time.
Reheating
Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or warm in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
