Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chopped rhubarb and sliced strawberries. Gently toss the fruits to mix evenly.
- In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, chopped walnuts, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Pour the melted butter over the dry oat mixture and stir until the ingredients are evenly coated and crumbly.
- Spread the fruit mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the oat and walnut crumble mixture uniformly over the fruit layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 15-20 minutes to allow the filling to set and become less runny.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose fresh, firm rhubarb and ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Cut rhubarb and strawberries into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overmix the crumble topping - you want it to remain slightly chunky for that perfect crispy texture.
- For extra richness, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the fruit mixture.
- If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Let the crumble rest for 15-20 minutes after baking to allow the filling to set and become less runny.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven to maintain the crumble's crispy texture.
