Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, add the sliced strawberries and diced rhubarb. Sprinkle the brown sugar, sugar, and cornstarch over the top. Add the lemon juice and then toss to evenly coat the strawberries and rhubarb.
Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9" x 9" baking dish, or a 10" cast iron skillet.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and oats. Mix on low speed until the mixture forms about 1/2" chunks.
Using your fingers, sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit mixture.
Bake in a preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and serve warm with ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: cover any leftover crisp with aluminum foil and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Reheating: either microwave or reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Freezing: freeze the oat topping and fruit mixture separately in airtight containers for up to 2 months. When you want to bake your crisp, pull from the freezer and transfer to a baking dish before baking as directed.
