Rhubarb Crisp with Peaches and Raspberries

Jump to Recipe

This rhubarb fruit crisp is a slightly tart not-too-sweet dessert with peaches and raspberries. A simple topping of oats and butter and you have yourself a luscious summer treat.

A crisp is nothing more than fruit mixed with sugar, spices, and a touch of flour. This creates a slightly thickened gooey compote like filling. The topping is typically a mixture of oats and flour with sugar and butter. The edges and parts of the top get crisp with bits of chewiness from the fruit mixture bubbling over. Crisps are easy to throw together when you need a simple dessert, it’s always impressive and mouthwatering good.

I was recently gifted a beautiful bundle of freshly picked rhubarb from my friends garden. This is so special to me because I’ve never grown rhubarb nor have I cooked with it much, but I love the unique tart flavor. And when paired with sweeter fruits like peaches and raspberries and the most delicious buttery topping, you have yourself a magical fruit crisp.

This rhubarb crisp recipe can be used with just about any berry or fruit; blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, nectarines, and apricots all work well. Just swap out the peaches or raspberries (or both) and use whatever you have available or sounds good. Depending on what’s in season it’s fun to switch up the combinations. This can also be made with gluten free flour and oats. The measurements stay the same and so does the flavor!

I love to serve this fruit crisp warm out of the oven with softened vanilla bean ice cream, or even a dollop of fresh whipped cream is delicious.

Let’s eat!🤍

    Great job!!
    I love this a lot!! I defiantly like deserts a little sweet and peaches do the trick for sure! (Actually peaches in anything is absolutely awesome!) I grew up next to a peach orchard and let me tell you,. Until you have picked a tree ripened peach the size of grapefruit and chomped down on it getting a face full of sugar infused sticky juice along with the perfect consistency of flesh and meat and absolute goodness to die for,,. you haven’t lived !! Seriously !!
    Rhubarb is a great old school ingredient that will make a lot of good things! ..great job and keep up the awesome work!!
