Rhubarb Apple Crisp

Ok. I could eat apple, rhubarb, strawberry, cherry (WHATVER) crisp everyday...twice a day...and NEVER get sick of it.

Besides being unbelieveably delicious, it is one of the easiest desserts to make, it has fruit and oatmeal in it (HEALTHY!) and I always have all the pantry ingredients. I never use an actual recipe but this is basically how I make it.



Let about 3-4 cups sliced fruit sit in a bowl with 1/2 cup sugar (more for rhubarb-less for sweeter fruit) for 30 minutes...that will draw some liquid out of the fruit. stir in 1 T cornstarch then pour into a buttered 8x8 baking pan.



For topping:

Stir together until crumbly looking:



3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup oatmeal

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

1/2 stick soft butter

1/8 cup oil (canola)

1/2 cup brown sugar

dash of salt

dash of cinnamon


Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes-cover with foil for the first 30 minutes of baking.
