Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp

Easier than pie but just as satisfying, crisps are quickly assembled desserts. It’s best to make this crisp with strawberries that are at the peak of ripeness. Not only will this make the dish more flavorful, but you won’t have to add as much sugar. If you are using strawberries that are a little on the sour side, add a tablespoon or two of sugar to the fruit filling.

Notes
To make a dairy-free version of this crisp, substitute coconut oil for the butter. To ensure the coconut oil stays solid in the food processing step, put everything in the food processor and place it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
