Ingredients
Rhubarb Berry Filling
- 2 cups rhubarb fresh or frozen sliced 1/2-inch pieces
- 2 cups strawberries chopped
- 2 cups sour or sweet cherries canned, fresh or frozen
- ⅔ cup sugar - increase or decrease depending on your preference
- ¼ cup flour
Oat Streusel Topping
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter cold and chopped into cubes
- optional Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease an 8-inch or 7-inch x 11-inch baking dish that can hold about 2 quarts. Set aside.
- Make the filling: Combine strawberries, rhubarb and cherries with the flour and sugar in a large bowl. Toss gently until combine, then spoon and spread into prepared baking dish.
- Shortcut Filling Version: Use a can of strawberry pie filling and a can of cherry pie filling and just add in small, chopped rhubarb. No extra sugar or flour needed. Just mix it all together and you have instant filling, ready to bake because the rhubarb is raw to start with. Make sure you cut the rhubarb in small ½ inch chunks, so it cooks through thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter using a fork or pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over rhubarb berry mixture. Add some additional oats on top for visuals if desired.
- Bake until the crisp topping is lightly brown and filling is bubbly, about 35-40 minutes. Serve a la mode and warm with a scoop of ice cream for next level yumminess!
