Strawberry Crisp
Description
This Strawberry Crisp recipe starts by coating the strawberries with sugar, vanilla, and flour or cornstarch to help thicken the natural juices released during baking. The oat crumble topping is made by combining rolled oats with flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar, then cutting in cold butter cubes to create a crumbly texture. The butter melts during baking to produce clusters that are golden and crisp.
The assembled dish is baked until the topping turns a light golden brown and the strawberry juices begin to bubble, indicating the fruit is cooked through and the filling is thickened. Cooling the crisp after baking allows the filling to set for easier serving.
Strawberry Crisp is best served warm, often accompanied by vanilla bean ice cream which balances the sweet and tart flavors. Prepared in a 9-inch baking dish, leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries (about 2 lbs. sliced)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Oat Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 10 Tablespoons butter (cold, cut into cubes)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Place sliced strawberries, sugar, flour OR cornstarch, and vanilla in a bowl. Toss to coat.
- In a small bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and sugar. Cut in 8 Tablespoons (1 cube) of cold butter, cut into cubes, with a fork or pastry cutter until it is combined. You may end up with chunks of butter and that is okay as the butter will melt in the oven.
- Place the strawberry mixture in a 9-inch baking dish. Top with brown sugar oat crumble. Dot the remaining two tablespoons of butter on top of the crumble. Bake for 20-26 minutes or until the strawberry crisp is a light golden color and the strawberry juices starts to bubble.
- Let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set up. Serve with vanilla bean ice cream. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
