It's easy to make delicious Air Fryer Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp! Make this dessert in an air fryer when it's too hot to turn on the oven!
- 1¼ cups fresh strawberries cored, sliced in thirds, lengthwise
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb sliced in 1" pieces
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest (finely grated yellow lemon peel)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt a small pinch!
- ¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup COLD butter =4 Tablespoons, cut in chunks
-
First- make sure baking dish fits inside air fryer basket. Spray/grease bottom and sides of dish, then set aside.
-
Stir strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, lemon juice and zest, a tiny pinch of salt and vanilla in a medium bowl until combined. Set bowl aside.
-
In separate bowl place oats, flour, cinnamon and COLD butter chunks. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to combine the ingredients until butter is reduced to the size of peas. Topping should be crumbly with small pieces of butter throughout.
-
Place fruit mixture in prepared dish, covering the bottom. Sprinkle the topping over the fruit until the surface is fully covered (use ALL the topping).
-
Preheat air fryer to 370°F. for 5 minutes. Place dish in air fryer; cook the crisp for 15-17 minutes at 370°F. I recommend checking the crisp after 15 minutes. If needed, cook 2-3 more minutes until browned, bubbly and fruit is tender.
-
Carefully remove hot dish out of air fryer; transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Spoon warm servings into bowls. Top with vanilla ice cream (optional, but good) and serve. Enjoy!
