Raspberry Rhubarb Crisp

A bubbly fruit crisp is the ultimate summer dessert – easy to assemble using whatever fruit happens to be in season, no fussing with pastry in the heat, and a sweet, crunchy topping that’s easy to mix together. It makes the very best vehicle for ice cream.

Berries are perfect contenders – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries – whatever grows well where you are. We love all of them paired with rhubarb, which makes for a sweet-tart crumble. You can even assemble the fruit and bake it when you’re sitting down to dinner, so that it’s warm when it’s time for dessert.

Ingredients
  1. 3 cups raspberries
  2. 3 cups chopped rhubarb
  3. 3/4 cup sugar
  4. 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
Crumble topping
  1. 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  2. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  3. 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  4. 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  5. 1/4 tsp. salt
  6. 1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into pieces
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  2. Put the raspberries and rhubarb in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and flour; sprinkle over the fruit and toss to coat.
  3. Transfer the fruit to a baking dish or 9-inch cast iron skillet, shaking all the excess sugar overtop. In the same bowl or in the bowl of a food processor mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter, fork or your fingers (or pulse in the food processor) until the mixture is well blended and crumbly. Scatter over the fruit, squeezing to create larger clumps as you go.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes or until the fruit is soft and bubbling, and the topping is pale golden and crunchy. Serve warm, with ice cream or whipped cream. Serves 6-8.
