Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, diced (about ½-inch pieces)

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar

  • 1 tablespoon orange zest

  • ½ cup orange juice

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the crisp topping:

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup light brown sugar, lightly packed

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

  • ½ pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, diced

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Butter a 9×13-inch baking dish or similar-sized ovenproof dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Fruit Filling

In a large bowl, toss together the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and vanilla, then stir it into the fruit mixture.

Pour the filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3: Make the Crisp Topping

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or using a pastry blender or your fingers), combine the flour, sugars, salt, and oats. Add the cold butter and mix on low speed until the mixture forms pea-sized crumbles.

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit mixture.

Step 4: Bake Until Golden and Bubbling

Bake for 1 hour, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges. Let cool for at least 15–20 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Step 5: Serve Warm or at Room Temperature

Scoop into bowls and serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just as it is.
