Submitted by Southern Living on Jun 01, 2017

Honeycrisp and Golden Delicious apples hold their shape well and won't get too mushy after baking. Brown sugar lends deep molasses flavor to the topping.

Ingredients:
Cooking spray
12 ounces fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed, cut into 1/2-in.-thick slices
1 1/4 pounds Golden Delicious or Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2.1 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1/2 cup), divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup light brown sugar (not packed)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 6-cup, preferably oval, baking pan or dish with cooking spray.
2. Combine rhubarb, apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, vanilla extract, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; toss well, and place in prepared baking dish.
3. Combine remaining 6 tablespoons flour, oats, and brown sugar in a bowl; mix well. Add butter to mixture; rub in with your hands until the mixture begins to hold in clumps when compressed. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over rhubarb mixture in baking dish.
4. Bake at 375°F until topping is golden brown, filling is thick and bubbly, and fruit is tender, about 50 to 55 minutes. (Cover loosely with foil if the top begins to brown too quickly.) Cool 15 minutes before serving.
