Fruit crisp is one of our family’s favourite recipes to enjoy, especially in the summer! It’s one of those recipes that most families seem to have a unique version of and it’s one of the first recipes I learned how to make as a kid. I’ve shared my Classic Slow Cooker Apple Crisp recipe with you already, and my favourite Apple Berry Crisp, but this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp is a delicious summer-inspired version of our favourite fruit crisp recipe that’s easy to make and bursting with fresh summer fruit!
We absolutely love this Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp recipe fresh out of the oven with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream after dinner on a warm summer evening. I mean, come on…what could be better than that!?! This is my favourite baking dish for making crisp recipes like this one (affiliate link). It’s the perfect size for any dessert or casserole and it’s such a gorgeous blue colour!
How to Make Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
If you want to take your homemade fruit crisp to the next level, try my FIVE favourite fruit crisp tips in your own kitchen:- Be sure to add a bit of cornstarch to the filling!! It helps create a velvety smooth sauce as the fruit cooks and releases its juices and prevents the topping from getting soggy.
- Use at least some fruit that holds its shape while baking. Berries tend to completely fall apart when baked but apples usually hold their shape pretty well. If you’re wanting a fruit crisp that’s full of berries, add some apples or rhubarb along with them.
- Grease your pan generously! Nobody likes burnt-on fruit, so use a generous amount of butter, margarine, or any other dairy-free butter you’d like and grease that pan!
- Don’t forget the spices! Ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and even ground ginger are good choices and they can take a boring old fruit crisp to something spectacular!
- Bake covered and then uncovered! Bake covered for the first half of baking for an ultra soft and tender topping, then remove the cover for the last half of baking for the perfect amount of browning and crispness!

Notes
**I don't recommend using frozen strawberries for this recipe as frozen strawberries release too much liquid. Feel free to use frozen rhubarb, although I recommend thawing it before using and draining any excess liquid.
