Ingredients

For the Crumble Topping

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, (cut into cubes)

For the Filling:

1 cup chopped rhubarb, (about 2 stalks)
2 cups hulled and quartered strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375° F.
Place the first 5 crumble topping ingredients into a bowl and combine.
Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and crumble with your hands to form small pea-size clumps.
To prepare the filling, toss all the filling ingredients in a bowl until coated then place in an oil sprayed 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8 baking dish.
Crumble the topping on top of the filling, place dish on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden.
Cool and serve on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Let it Cool: Allow the rhubarb crumble to cool slightly before serving. This helps the filling set and makes the crumble easier to serve. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an irresistible dessert.

Use Cold Butter: Use cold butter cut into small pieces or grated. This helps create a crumbly texture. You can use your fingers to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms pea-sized pieces.
To Store: Allow strawberry rhubarb crumble to cool completely then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: Allow crumble to cool completely then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat at 375°F for 20-25 minutes or until warmed through and the topping is crisp.
