A quick and easy strawberry rhubarb crisp with a perfect balance of tart and sweet, topped with a buttery, crunchy crumble. Ideal for summer gatherings and simple, satisfying desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (or quartered if large)
  • 3 cups rhubarb, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust based on fruit sweetness)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (can swap for almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine strawberries and rhubarb. Add granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until fruit is evenly coated. Set aside for 10 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Add cold butter cubes and work into dry mixture with a pastry cutter or fingers until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Transfer fruit mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and fruit filling bubbles around edges. If topping browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  6. Let crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use cold butter for a crumbly topping. Adjust sugar based on fruit sweetness. If topping browns too fast, cover with foil. Can swap butter for coconut oil for dairy-free version. Use almond flour and gluten-free oats for gluten-free adaptation.
