How to make it
Preheat an oven to 350°F.
In a bowl, add ¾ cup rolled oats, ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon ¼ tsp salt, ½ cup light brown sugar, and 6 tbsp melted butter. Using a fork, mix everything and set aside.
In a 9×13-inch baking pan add 2 pounds halved strawberries, 2 ½ tbsp cornstarch, 1/ cup granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp vanilla extract. Toss everything until evenly coated and evenly spread in the baking dish.
Sprinkle over with the topping.
Bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes or until the topping is golden/brown color and the filling is bubbling.
Take it out of the oven and let sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes. Serve it with a scoop of French Vanilla Ice Cream or Whipped cream.
Tips for best results
- Berries. I prefer to use fresh strawberries although you can use frozen ones as well.
- Sauce. Depending on how juicy your berries are, the sauce might be more or less thick. But it will be delicious anyway!
- Topping. To get extra crunch topping, you can add about ¼ cup sliced almonds or chopped pecans.
- Baking. Make sure your filling starts to bubble before you take it out of the oven.
Frequently Asked Questions
It keeps well in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. You can simply cover the leftovers in the baking pan with plastic wrap or transfer the dessert to an air-tight container.
Yes! You can freeze it in an air-tight container for up to 3 months. To reheat, put it in the oven at 350°F until the filling is bubbling.
Although this recipe is for “Strawberry Crisp”, you can use pretty much any fruit or berries you have on hand: peaches, nectarines, blueberries, blackberries, rhubarb, etc.
A pie pan will most likely be too small for this recipe. If you don’t have a 9×13-inch baking pan, you can use 7×11-inch or 9×9-inch pan with taller side walls, to make sure the filling won’t bubble over.
