Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 4 cups rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the crisp evenly.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the rhubarb chunks with granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and cinnamon. Stir well so all pieces are coated. Transfer this mixture to an 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup flour, rolled oats, and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
- Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the rhubarb filling in the baking dish, covering it completely.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Bake until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbly, signaling that it’s cooked through.
Notes
- Use fresh rhubarb for the best flavor and texture.
- To reduce tartness, you can increase the sugar slightly depending on your taste preferences.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat.
- The crisp topping can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge to save time.
