Tart rhubarb, fresh ripe strawberries, bright orange zest and warm vanilla are the perfect pie filling. Top this off with a sweet and buttery brown sugar and oat crisp for the perfect dessert!
I’m a big fan of any fruit based dessert. I would pick an apple, peach or blueberry pie over cake any day of the week
My family members are more ‘cake’ people then ‘pie’ people but they absolutely love my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
So let’s get baking!
We are starting off with around 12 ounces of rhubarb (4-5 stalks) and roughly 4 cups of strawberries
Remove the tops of the rhubarb along with the bottoms and dice into even pieces
Using a small spoon core out the strawberries
Next slice the smaller strawberries in half and quarter the larger ones
Place the rhubarb and strawberries in a large bowl
Zest one whole orange
Next we will need 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, the zest we got from the orange and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract

Add the sugar to the bowl
Then the orange zest and vanilla
Whisk the cornstarch in with the orange juice and pour in the bowl (this will act as a thickener)
Toss all ingredients together to combine
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place a baking dish on top
Add the strawberry and rhubarb mixture into the baking dish and set aside
I like the fruit to meld 10-15 minutes so the sugar and juice can start to break things down a bit
Preheat your oven to 350 F
Let’s start on the crisp (topping)
We will need 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of oatmeal (not instant), 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of lightly packed dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt and 1 1/2 sticks of cold unsalted butter
Add the dry ingredients into a stand mixer and mix to combine
Cut the butter into slices
Add them into the mixing bowl with the combined dry ingredients
Mix on low speed until the butter is broken up and you’re left with crumbles
Sprinkle the crumbles over the top of the fruit until completely covered
Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour
When you remove it from the oven the fruit should be bubbling and set and the topping should be a golden brown
Let it rest a few minutes but serve it warm
Can you say YUM?!!!!
We served this with some vanilla ice cream!
Enjoy!!!
