Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 5 heaping cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 2/3 cup granulated white sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a deep dish pie plate or a large baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, combine the hulled and quartered strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated white sugar. Mix thoroughly until the strawberries have fully absorbed the sugar. Add 3 tablespoons cornstarch and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, stirring well to evenly coat all the strawberries. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. Prepare the Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, 2/3 cup granulated white sugar, 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter (1/2 cup) and stir until the mixture is well coated and crumbly.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the strawberry filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbly and the topping has turned golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the strawberry crisp to cool slightly before serving. For an extra special touch, serve warm topped with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your delicious homemade strawberry crisp!

Notes

  • Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Adjust sugar quantities depending on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Let the crisp cool a bit to help the filling set and avoid runniness when serving.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
