I love how the tart rhubarb pairs so well with the sweeter raspberries in the fruit filling.

And let’s talk about that crispy, crumbly topping. Man, oh man, is it good! I’ll admit that it’s my favorite part of any type of crisp.

This mixture is the perfect complement when sprinkled on top of the fresh fruit. It’s sweet, crispy, and contains just the right amount of flavor.

How to Make Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp

The prep work for this simple rhubarb crisp couldn’t get any easier. The hardest part is chopping the rhubarb and melting the butter, which isn’t really hard at all, right?

Here’s an overview of how the recipe comes together:

Make the oat topping: In a small bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter.
Sprinkle topping evenly over the fruit.

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips for Making Rhubarb Raspberry Crisp

I chose to make this rhubarb raspberry crisp in four mini skillets, just because I love mini desserts. But if you don’t have mini skillets handy, a medium skillet or baking dish will work just fine.
Make sure to cover the rhubarb filling evenly with the oat topping. This traps the steam and helps soften the rhubarb and raspberries.
If using frozen fruit, don’t thaw it before making the filling. Instead, add a few minutes to the bake time.
