Delicious Strawberry Crisp Recipe

4.6 from 65 reviews

This Strawberry Crisp is a delightful, comforting dessert that features fresh strawberries topped with a buttery oat mixture baked to golden perfection. It’s a simple yet satisfying treat that highlights the natural sweetness of strawberries with a crisp, crumbly topping.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruit Filling

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit Filling: In a large bowl, gently toss the halved strawberries with sugar and flour until they are evenly coated. This mixture will help thicken the juices as the crisp bakes.
  2. Make the Crisp Topping: In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon if using. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Assemble the Crisp: Spread the strawberry mixture evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the strawberries, covering them completely.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish on the middle rack and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. This dessert is delicious warm, especially when paired with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, replace all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour blend.
  • Adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to the strawberry filling enhances brightness and balances sweetness.
  • Ensure the butter is cold when making the topping for a crumbly texture.
  • Adjust sugar amount depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator covered for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
