Rhubarb crisp

I recently found myself invited to my future in laws, and decided, an hour and a half before we were to be there, that I should make a dessert. I quickly threw my cupboards open, but could not find a single thing that could be made that quickly, or didn't have the ingredients for my old standbys. Also, my fiances family are not ones for overly sweet desserts.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had rhubarb in my freezer that my grandma had sent back with me at the end of a recent trip home. I suddenly knew I had to make something with it, as being tangy and tart, I figured it would be perfect for his family. A pie couldn't be made from scratch and baked in an hour and a half, but a crisp certainly could. I quickly Googled a recipe, and the following recipe, from www.geniuskitchen.com, was the first one to come up that I had all the ingredients for, and it turned out perfectly. Even my fiances ultra picky brother asked if I could make him another one if he bought me more rhubarb. It was a hit all around, so I want to share it with you today!
