Celebrate the vibrant flavors of spring with this classic rhubarb crisp. Tart rhubarb is nestled beneath a sweet, buttery crumble topping, creating a comforting and irresistible dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish. (5 minutes)
In a large bowl, combine the sliced rhubarb, granulated sugar, and 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour. Gently toss to coat the rhubarb evenly. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. (10 minutes)
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of all-purpose flour, softened butter, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the rhubarb mixture in the baking dish. (2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the rhubarb filling is bubbling. Let cool slightly before serving. (60 minutes)
