Easy Strawberry Crisp

There aren’t many summer dessert better than a simple, fresh Strawberry Crisp! Fresh strawberries are covered with a crumbly, buttery oat topping perfect for topping with vanilla ice cream or a healthy dollop of whipped cream!

Baking with strawberries is easily one of my favorite summer hobbies. I practically do a happy dance once strawberries season is here. One of my very favorite ways to bake with strawberries is to make this super easy, unbelievable Strawberry Crisp recipe.

How to Make the Best Strawberry Crisp

• Strawberries I make this Strawberry Crisp in the summer with fresh strawberries. It’s also a good thing to do with strawberries that are getting old, you won’t be able to tell the difference in the end product. If you don’t have fresh strawberries, you can make this strawberry crisp with frozen strawberries as well. Simply thaw and pat dry so you don’t have a soggy filling.

• Cornstarch The cornstarch in this recipe is essential for keeping your crisp from being soggy. As it cools after baking it gels up to perfection, don’t skip the cornstarch!
• Brown Sugar Adding the brown sugar in with the regular sugar adds a caramel quality to the topping, it’s amazing!
• BUTTER! Melted butter takes the crumbly oat topping to the next level. We’re talking golden crumble perfection!

How to Make Strawberry Crisp

This recipe is beyond easy, it’s also perfect for making with kids because you literally can’t mess it up! First you’ll preheat your oven then mix the strawberries, some sugar, and the cornstarch in a bowl.

Once the filling is made add it to a baking dish and start to make that crumble topping!

Mix the flour, oats, sugars, and spices until blended. Pour the melted butter into the mix and stir until it’s all a uniform crumbly texture.

Then you’ll spread the crumbles over the filling and bake.

Thirty-five minutes later the best strawberry crumble you’ll ever have will be ready for you! I like to serve my strawberry crisp warm with vanilla ice cream or cool with whipped cream, it’s perfect either way!

Strawberry Crumble Tips

• Don’t skip the cornstarch, it is what keeps the crumble from being soggy.
