Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Filling
- 5 cups strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp lemon zest
For the Crisp Topping
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch (or similar-sized) baking dish.
- Make the strawberry filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir until well combined, then spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly.
- Assemble and bake: Evenly sprinkle the crisp topping over the strawberry filling. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool and serve: Let the crisp cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
For a thicker, more jam-like filling, use 2 to 3 tablespoons of cornstarch in your strawberry crisp.
