Strawberry Rhubarb Buckle

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups diced fresh rhubarb
• 1.5 cups diced fresh strawberries
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons water , divided
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Make filling: Combine rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water in a large saucepan. Cook covered, stirring occasionally, over medium-low heat until mixture begins to boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low.

3. 3

   Stir together remaining 2 tablespoons water and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth. Add to the saucepan and continue cooking until fruit mixture begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

4. 4

   Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.

5. 5

   Make batter: Beat together butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in yogurt, egg, and vanilla until well combined. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix until batter is just combined.

6. 6

   Spread 2/3 of the batter into the prepared pan. Pour filling on top of batter. Spread remaining 1/3 of the batter in small mounds atop filling. Set aside.

7. 7

   Make topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, and butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork, pastry blender, or your hands until topping resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of batter and filling.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven until topping is nicely browned, about 35 minutes.
