Rhubarb Apple Crisp

My neighbor brought me a HUGE bag of Rhubard and I had NO idea what to do with it. I happened to stumble across this recipe on my friend April's blog. I tried it and LOVED it...so I am sharing it with you...and I need to make sure I don't loose this recipe so I am keeping it here!! LOL!

1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp cinnamon
3 cups sliced rhubarb
1 peeled and cubed apple (we like fuji or gala)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tbs cornstarch
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla

In a bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, butter and cinnamon. Mix together until crumbly. Press 1/3 of it into a 8 x 8 baking dish. Top with sliced rhubarb and apple.

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, water and vanilla. Cook until thick and clear. Pour over apples and rhubarb. Top with remaining crumb mixture and bake at 350 for 50 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping. Enjoy

NOTE**one thing I did differently on this recipe is after I took the sugar/cornstarch mixture off the stove, I mixed the rhubard and apples into the sauce and then I spooned it over the crust, I didn't use all of the sauce, that way the sauce didn't bubble up over the top crisp..I LOVE my crisp to be extra crispy ;O)
