Cherry Rhubarb Crunch Recipes

CHERRY RHUBARB CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Add pitted cherries, sliced rhubarb, granulated sugar, cornstarch, orange juice, and vanilla extract to a large bowl and gently toss to combine and coat the fruit evenly.
• Pour out filling into a large pan (mine is 13" x 9" x 3") and pat into an even layer.
• Add flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir to combine evenly. Cut in the chilled butter pieces with a pastry blender until it is in small clumps. It will not be smooth.
• Scatter the topping over the fruit in the pan evenly.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crisp topping is golden-brown and the fruit filling is well-heated and bubbly. You should easily be able to pierce the center of a slice of rhubarb with a fork. Let the crisp cool off some, then serve warm in bowls (with a scoop of vanilla ice cream as a recommend topping!).
