Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized baking dish.
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, raspberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour the melted butter over the mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the rhubarb and raspberry filling. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp to cool slightly before serving. It’s delicious served warm, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Enjoy your tangy and sweet Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp!
