Grandma's Rhubarb Crisp

By á-138

Your family will love this Rhubarb Crisp! If you're a little short on rhubarb, feel free to add in chopped apples or strawberries to get to 4 cups. However, you wouldn't want to completely replace the rhubarb, as it is a nice contrast to the sweetness of the crust and sugar sauce.

Ingredients

• SUGAR SAUCE:
• 4 cups rhubarb, chopped*
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 cup oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Chop rhubarb and set aside.

Mix together the flour, oats, cinnamon, brown sugar and melted butter. Press one-half of crumb mixture into a buttered 7"x11" or 8.5"x11" baking dish.

Whisk sugar, cornstarch and water together in a glass bowl. Microwave until thick, clear, and bubbly, approximately 3-5 minutes. Remove from microwave and whisk in vanilla.

Add chopped rhubarb atop pressed-in crumb mixture in the baking dish. Pour sugar sauce evenly over rhubarb. Top with remaining crumb mixture.

Bake at 350°F. until edges are bubbling and crumb topping is browned, about 30-40 minutes.
