Recipe by Rockabillytim Well, I love apple crisps and rhubarb crisp - but didn't like the strawberry. I took a few recipes I found and mixed and matched and got something that everyone loved. Hope you do as well. Apples-to-rhubarb mixture can be tweaked

Ingredients

6 large apples, cored and diced
1 cup diced rhubarb
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 3/4 cups quick cooking oats

2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste (optional)
