Blueberry Rhubarb Crisp

Make this delectable dish when you have an abundance of berries or rhubarb. I consider this a relatively healthy dessert - fresh produce topped with a wholesome buttery crumb topping. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375F.
  • Put berries and rhubarb in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with sugar and toss to coat.
  • Combine all crumb topping ingredients in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Mix for 3-5 minutes until crumbly. Or use a pastry mixer to cut butter in by hand.
  • Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over berry mixture.
