Instructions
For the Topping:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, golden brown sugar, old fashioned oats, cinnamon, and cloves.
- Using your hands or a pastry cutter, rub in the cold butter until the mixture begins to clump together, forming a crumbly texture.
- Mix in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the topping.
For the Filling:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, toss together the peeled and sliced apples, chopped rhubarb, sugar, flour, and vanilla extract. Make sure all the fruit is well-coated with the mixture.
- Transfer the fruit filling into an 8x8x2 inch glass baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit, covering it completely.
Baking:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the fruit is tender when pierced with a knife and the topping is golden brown and crisp.
- If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the dish with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
Serving:
- Allow the crisp to cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
