Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble
This recipe comes from the home of U.S. Ambassador to Austria Alexa L. Wesner. This recipe
is great if you don’t have time to make a pie crust. It should be baked in a deep, glass baking
dish, either square or round.
Ingredients:
Filling:
14 ounces rhubarb 1/2 inch thick slices (If necessary, remove
tough strings)
14 ounces hulled and halved strawberries
½ cup brown sugar*
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
lemon zest to taste
Topping:
1 ¼ cup flour
½ cup oats
1 cup brown sugar*
½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
generous pinch of salt
There is no need to prepare a crust for this recipe.
In a bowl, combine the filling ingredients and mix until they are coated.
In a second bowl, mix topping ingredients with a fork until crumbly and dry (don’t over mix).
Spoon filling into baking dish. Sprinkle topping mixture evenly on top - don’t press the topping in.
Bake 375 ºF for 45 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
