Rhubarb Crisp

Ingredients:

• Filling:

  • 8 cups rhubarb (thawed and drained if frozen), chopped into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

• Topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour

  • ¾ cup brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • ½ cup cold butter, cubed

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Filling: In a large bowl, toss the rhubarb with sugar, flour (or cornstarch), and vanilla extract. Spread evenly into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

3. Make Topping: In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

5. Cool and Serve: Let the crisp cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra treat!
