The BEST Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp Recipe

I enjoy baking and will often bring some baked goodies to events and gatherings. My Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp recipe is always a hit at potlucks and I’m often asked for the recipe.

This dessert is a perfect combination of sweet strawberries and tart rhubarb in between crunchy layers. It’s a simpler alternative to the classic strawberry rhubarb pie (or our alternative: cinnamon apple rhubarb pie!).

With strawberries and rhubarb just coming into season, it’s the perfect time for baking this no-fuss dessert. Rhubarb is easy to grow but can take up a lot of space so consider this when planting it in your garden.

You can easily substitute the rhubarb and strawberries for other seasonal fruit, such as apples, peaches, plums or cherries. This is just a great go-to and tasty dessert recipe for all year round!

And if you have any leftover rhubarb, you have to make this rhubarb with caramel sauce. Doesn’t it sound amazing?

Ingredients
  

Crust and Crumble:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinamon
  • ½ cup melted butter

Filling:

  • 2 cups diced rhubarb
  • 2 cups diced strawberries

Sauce:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven at 350°F (175°C).
  • Mix crust ingredients until crumbly and press half in a buttered 9”x9” baking pan (ideally glass or ceramic – I love my Corningware 2.5-quart French Oval Casserole dish for this recipe).
  • Spread strawberry and rhubarb pieces over the crumbs.
  • Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan and cook over moderate heat until thick and clear. Helpful Tip: Add cornstarch to cold water and mix to avoid clumps in sauce.
  • Pour over strawberries and rhubarb.
  • Sprinkle remaining crumbs over top.
  • Bake for about 1 hour or until golden brown.

    Soooo good!!! As the rhubarb in my garden is overflowing and the Ontario strawberries are being sold on every corner these days, I decided to treat the family to this dessert tonight and wow, it was delicious! As I just ran out of vanilla, I substituted with orange essence and I think it worked great, though next time I’ll try with vanilla and compare. Thanks so much for sharing this one with us – I will be making it again very soon 🙂

    Boy does this sound good! I just recently discovered that I like rhubarb, after years of thinking I didn’t because of the few times I tried it as a child. Looking forward to trying this soon!
