Ingredients

Filling

  • 5-6 cups chopped rhubarb, fresh or frozen (about 6 stalks)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Crisp Topping

  • ½ cup salted butter, cubed
  • ½ cup brown sugar (100g)
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour (106g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Combine the rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Toss to evenly distribute the sugar and cornstarch with the rhubarb.
  • In a large bowl, mix the butter into the oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt using a fork or your hands until it resembles pea-sized crumbs. Add chopped nuts, if using.
  • Sprinkle the crisp topping over the rhubarb filling, then bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crisp topping is lightly browned.
  • Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

If using frozen rhubarb, increase the cornstarch to 4 tablespoons.
