Rhubarb Apple Crisp

Rhubarb Apple Crisp

Everyone loves old-fashioned crisp desserts especially in our house where they are a staple. The ones I make are always different because they’re made with whatever seasonal or frozen fruit I have in the house. 

This delicious rhubarb apple crisp has a nice blend of sour (rhubarb) and sweet (apple).

Add a splash of whipping cream and you have a yummy dessert.
