Sweet-tart rhubarb with this chewy, crisp topping is such a great combination. This rhubarb crisp recipe is a delicious way to enjoy this underused fruit. Rhubarb crisp is especially good served warm with ice cream.

Makes 6 Servings Rhubarb Crisp Recipe

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 6 cups chopped rhubarb (about 4 large ribs)
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 stick (4 tbsp) cold butter

Preparation:

In a bowl combine the rhubarb, granulated sugar, and lemon juice, and mix to combine evenly. Pour into a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.

In the same bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, oats, salt, and butter. Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the butter into the dry ingredients to form a very course, crumbly mixture. Spread the mixture over the rhubarb and bake at 375 degrees F. for 35 minutes, or until browned and bubbly. Serve warm.
