Old-Fashioned Strawberry-Rhubarb Crisp

Description :
This recipe for strawberry-rhubarb crisp sings the sweet song of springtime. It's a classic dessert marriage, first between the ruby red duo of tart rhubarb and juicy strawberries, then of the tender, yielding fruit and the crumbly, buttery oat topping.
Ingredient :
Filling
-
2 pounds rhubarb stalks, sliced 1/2-inch thick
-
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
-
1 pound strawberries, hulled and quartered
-
3 tablespoons cornstarch
-
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping
-
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
-
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
-
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 1/4 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
-
3 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Direction :
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl, toss the rhubarb with 3/4 cup of the sugar and let stand for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, toss the strawberries with the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and let stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rhubarb to the strawberries; discard any rhubarb juice. Add the cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla to the fruit and stir well.
-
Transfer the mixture to a 9- x 13-inch glass baking dish.
- For the topping, combine all of the ingredients in a medium bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, mix the ingredients together until large crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and continue baking for about 30 minutes longer, until the fruit filling is bubbling and the topping is nicely browned.
- Let the crisp rest for 10 to 20 minutes before serving.
