How to make a Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
Here’s what you do to make this easy rhubarb crisp recipe. You’ll love how flavorful it is!
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add the strawberry rhubarb filling ingredients to a large mixing bowl and toss to combine.
- Transfer the filling to a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the crisp topping ingredients and, using a fork, mix to combine. It should be wet but a little crumbly. If it’s too dry, add another tablespoon of melted butter.
- Spread the crisp topping across the top of the fruit.
- Bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool.
Can Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze your strawberry rhubarb crisp!
If you freeze the entire baking dish, you’ll want to tightly cover with foil and freeze for up to two weeks. When ready to cook, remove from freezer and immediately bake. Do not let it thaw.
You can also freeze individual servings of uncooked strawberry rhubarb crisp. Transfer each serving to an air-tight container and freeze for up to 3-4 weeks. When ready to bake, remove from freezer, transfer to an oven-safe dish, and heat in the oven until hot and bubbly.
If you want to freeze your strawberry rhubarb crisp after baking, simply transfer to an air-tight container and freeze for up to two weeks.
RECIPE TIP: In order to keep the crisp topping, I would suggest reheating in the oven using an oven-safe dish.
