Ingredients

To make this delightful dessert, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 2 cups apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith apples work well)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for the topping)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to bring your Rhubarb Apple Crisp to life:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. In another bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the rolled oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and softened butter. Use your fingers or a fork to blend everything until it resembles coarse crumbs.
