Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the rhubarb evenly and transfer it to the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the rhubarb filling.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
- Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the sugar if your rhubarb is particularly tart or sweet.
- If you prefer a thicker topping, simply increase the amount of oats and butter for a more substantial crumble.
- This dessert is best served warm, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
