Ah, Rhubarb. A reward of spring. The flavor is its own, a cross between sour-tart and berry-sweetness. Make it your mission to buy it as soon as you see it in-season, or beg a friend for some out of their garden. This crisp came together wonderfully fast and made for a cozy breakfast with hot coffee and the whipped yogurt. But you can eat it anytime, obviously, either hot, at room temp., or chilled. You do you.
"The is a small amount of corn starch to help with thickening the sauce, if you don't have it, flour in the same quantity works, but you lose the gluten-free aspect."
Notes: Same amount of apple can be swapped for the strawberries.
