How to Make Apple Rhubarb Crisp

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and chop 3 cups of apples (about 3 medium). Chop 2 cups of rhubarb into ½-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples and rhubarb. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
  4. Sprinkle ½ cup of granulated sugar over the fruit mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Lightly butter an 11x7 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of quick-cooking oats, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Mix well.
  8. Cut in ½ cup of cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  9. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the fruit filling.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with whipped cream or your favorite ice cream!
