Whether you’re hosting a family gathering, wanting a sweet treat, or trying to make use of your harvest, this rhubarb crisp is about to become your favorite go-to recipe. Even better—it’s simple to make. This recipe from Blain’s Farm & Fleet will walk you through every step to make your own rhubarb crisp at home.
Start by preheating your oven to 375° F. Combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Stir until the rhubarb is fully coated. Set aside while you prepare the topping.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Pour in the melted butter, and stir the ingredients together with a fork until crumbly. Make sure you don’t overmix.
Pour the rhubarb mixture into an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, sprinkle the crumble topping over the rhubarb, covering it as much as you can.
Place the dish in the preheated oven, and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbling at the edges.
Remove the crisp from the oven, and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps the filling set and makes it easier to scoop.
Serve warm, and for an extra touch, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top.
If you have leftovers, you can store your rhubarb crisp in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to three days. Before serving, reheat in the oven at 300° F for about 10 minutes.
You can also freeze rhubarb crisp for up to three months. When ready to eat, just thaw in the refrigerator overnight, and warm up in the oven before serving.
With its combination of a tart, fruity filling and buttery, crumbly topping, this is an easy rhubarb recipe you’ll want to make again and again. The next time you find yourself with fresh rhubarb or just craving a homemade sweet, give this recipe a try. It’s versatile, beginner-friendly, and delicious.
