If you were to ask me what dessert recipe I most remember making as a child for my family, it would be this one: Triple Berry Rhubarb Oatmeal Crisp.

It’s a quick and easy dessert even young cooks can make, that only needs an adult to put the pan in the oven. The results are amazing.

How to Make Triple Berry Rhubarb Oatmeal Crisp Recipe

This recipe uses both fresh and frozen fruit, but you could easily use all fresh or all frozen fruit–if you want.

You’ll use cornstarch to thicken the chopped fruit filling. I like to also add my spices at this time.

Cooking Tip: Skip using flour for this recipe, because it will leave an aftertaste and the juices will look cloudy.

Allow your fruit to sit and rest. This will allow the cornstarch to work its magic (think thicken naturally).

While this is happening, time to tackle the crisp.

The crisp uses quick cooking oats, butter and brown sugar, along with some spices that make it super tasty. Set this aside.

Next, place the fruit in a well-greased baking dish.

Evenly spread the prepared crisp over the top of the fruit.

Finally, bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 45 minutes. Remove when the topping turns golden brown and the filling bubbly.

Once baked, allow the Triple Berry Rhubarb Oatmeal Crisp to cool for about five minutes or so before serving.

I like to top my fruit crisp with fresh custard, homemade vanilla ice cream, or homemade Chantilly Whipped Cream. Enjoy!
