Pies can be expensive to make, says Tabitha Langel, so instead she has provided a recipe for a delicious crisp that uses two ingredients that were very plentiful in Manitoba this year, rhubarb and saskatoons.

Ingredients
Flour and oat base and topping
4 cups light flour
4 cups slow cook rolled oats
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups brown sugar
2 1/4 cups cool butter

Rhubarb saskatoon filling
6 cups fresh or frozen saskatoons
6 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup light flour

Method
Flour and oat base and topping

  1. Into a large bowl, toss together all dry ingredients.
  2. Cut the butter into small cubes or grate with a large cheese grater and place into the bowl.
  3. Rub the butter into the flour and oat mixture until the batter has been evenly distributed.
  4. Press 2/3 of the crumble lightly onto the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Rhubarb saskatoon filling

  1. Preheat oven to 325°C.
  2. Into a large bowl combine all ingredients with hands or a large spoon.
  3. Pour mixture over the flour and oat crust already in pan.
  4. Spread rhubarb saskatoon mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 of flour and oat topping over the fruit filling.
  6. Bake crisp for 45-55 minutes.
