Strawberry Crisp

Step aside apple crisp. Strawberry Crisp is new in town! This easy strawberry dessert recipe is made with fresh strawberries and crunchy oat topping. 

Spring is fast approaching. I can’t even hold back how excited I am for this. What’s the best thing about spring? All the fun spring & summer desserts and flavors, such as lemon and strawberry.

One dessert that I’m literally addicted to is fruit crisps. Think fresh strawberry in a baking dish sprinkled with a old fashioned oats crisp topping.

About this Strawberry Crisp Recipe:

• This Strawberry Crisp is super simple and quick to whip up. You’ll only need about 10 minutes of prep time.
• Sweet strawberries mixed with just a little sugar and cornstarch for thickening make a deliciously fruity filling on the bottom.
• Easy oat topping that adds a light crunch to every bite.

Cast Iron Skillet Dessert

I love making my crisps in my cast iron skillet. Not only do the skillets cook perfectly, they hold in heat and keep everything nice and warm longer. Not to mention desserts in skillets are fun and everyone loves them.

If you don’t have a skillet, any other 9×9” baking dish will do just as well.

How to Make Strawberry Crisp

• Prepare. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9-10” cast iron skillet with shortening.
• Mix the strawberries. In large bowl mix together the strawberries, sugar and cornstarch until combined, then set aside.
• Mix the oat topping. In another medium bowl mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt and butter. Mix until coarse crumbs form.
• Bake. Put the strawberries in the bottom of the prepared skillet and then top with the oat crumbs, making sure it is spread evenly over the top. Bake for about 45 minutes (up to 60 minutes) or until the edges are bubbly and the oat topping is golden-brown.

This is excellent with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Or you can make a homemade whipped cream and dollop it on top of the warm strawberry crisp.

Recipe Variations

• Want to add other berries to this crisp? Go ahead and add raspberries and blueberries (or even blackberries) and it can be a triple berry crisp.
• Add a drizzle of lemon juice to your strawberries and you can give it a little citrus burst behind each bite.
• Add rhubarb for a strawberry rhubarb crisp.
• Use gluten free oats and tapioca starch for a gluten free version of this recipe.
• A teaspoon of vanilla extract in the strawberries will warm up the flavor.
• This can also be a vegan strawberry crisp if you use coconut oil or vegan butter instead of regular butter.
