tasty tuesday: strawberry-rhubarb crisp

My definition: Heaven in your mouth, addicting, never sticks around for more than a day.

This recipe is so ridiculously easy...and SO GOOD!
It's definitely something I would recommend to beginner bakers....as well as anyone looking for an easy dessert to whip up!

My family absolutely loves making this in Summer, and we even grow rhubarb (as well as a multitude of berries) on our farm.  Having fresh fruit available all summer is so wonderful...and we often mix up what kind of fruit we use in this tasty dessert as well.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

recipe by: Jordyn!

Ingredients:

6-8 cups of chopped rhubarb (depending on how much fruit you like in your Crisp...we love having a ton of fruit in ours!)

2-4 cups of sliced strawberries (raspberries are also an excellent substitute)

2/3 cup Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

3/4 cup Flour

1 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
Pinch of Salt

1/3 cup Butter (cold)

1 cup Brown Sugar

1 cup rolled quick cooking Oats

Directions:

Fruit Layer:

1) In a greased 9x13 glass pan, mix together the rhubarb and strawberries.

2) In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon; then sprinkle over top of fruit.

Crumb Topping Layer:

1) In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.

2) Then, cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3) Stir in brown sugar and oats.

4) Sprinkle crumbs over fruit evenly.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the fruit is tender.

Nice and easy.  Stir your fruit together in the pan, and then sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.

Then, cut in butter until coarse crumbs form, then mix in the brown sugar and oats.

Pour the mixture over top, and it's ready for the oven!

One of the best ways to enjoy this dessert is by adding ice cream!

I hope you've enjoyed this summer-inspired dessert post!
