Strawberry Crisp
Easy Strawberry Crisp is a super simple dessert made with fresh strawberries and a brown sugar and oat topping. Perfect for any day of the week and delicious enough for company.
Fruit crisps have become one of my favorites for a quick and easy dessert. They are just as delicious as pie but so much easier to make. Blackberry Crisp is a favorite for summer and we make this Easy Apple Crisp all year long.
I have always been a little skeptical about the texture of baked strawberries until my niece made a strawberry crisp for a family bbq. It won me over and I think this strawberry version might be my new favorite.
Ingredients for Strawberry Crisp Recipe
- Fresh Ripe Strawberries – Frozen strawberries can be used but will result in a softer consistency when baked.
- Granulated Sugar – Sweetens the strawberries, skip the sugar if you are using sweetened frozen berries.
- Corn Starch – To thicken the strawberry filling.
- Orange Juice – Balances the sweetness of the strawberries. Lemon juice works well too.
- Old Fashioned Oats – Quick oats can be substituted if that is what you have on hand.
- All Purpose Flour – Binds the crisp topping.
- Brown Sugar – Adds the classic sweet caramel flavor to the crisp topping.
- Sea Salt – or kosher salt.
- Butter – I use salted butter, unsalted works just as well.
