How to Make Raspberry Rhubarb Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Reserve 1 ¼ cups of the crumb mixture for the topping.
  5. Press the remaining crumbs into an ungreased 9x9 inch baking pan.
  6. In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries and 4 cups chopped rhubarb.
  7. If using frozen fruit, do not thaw.
  8. In a small saucepan, combine the reserved raspberry syrup (or ½ cup water if using fresh raspberries) and ½ cup granulated sugar.
  9. In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup cornstarch and ¼ cup cold water until smooth.
  10. Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan with the raspberry syrup and sugar.
  11. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute.
  12. Remove from heat and set aside.
  13. Spread the raspberry and rhubarb mixture evenly over the oat crust in the baking pan.
  14. Pour the cooked syrup mixture over the fruit.
  15. Sprinkle the reserved crumb topping evenly over the fruit and syrup.
  16. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  17. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
  18. Serve warm with whipped cream or ice cream.
