Ingredients

Crisp Topping

  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 tablespoons butter melted

Strawberry Crisp Filling

  • 2 lbs fresh strawberries
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and coat a 1½-quart baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Make Crisp Topping: Add oats, flour, brown sugar baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl; stir. Then add the melted butter and mix to combine. Set aside.
  • Make Strawberry Filling: Hull and remove stems from fresh strawberries. Half any large strawberries and add to a bowl. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the strawberries and toss to coat. Stir in the sugar and vanilla with a spatula and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  • Sprinkle Topping: Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the strawberries.
  • Bake the Crisp: Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the strawberry filling is bubbling. It's important that the filling bubbles as that will cause the cornstarch to activate and thicken the sauce.
  • Serve: Let stand for a few minutes before serving. We love a scoop of vanilla ice cream with the crisp. It's utterly divine when melting into the crisp topping.

Notes

Thickening the Filling:

Be sure to bake the crisp long enough that the topping has become a deep golden color and the filling is bubbling around the edges. This allows the filling to thicken. Otherwise, there will additional liquid in the middle. If this happens, return the crisp to the oven. It's hard to predict how thick the sauce will become as strawberries vary in their juiciness. The crisp will continue to thicken as it cools.
