Strawberries are a popular fruit during summer, and we just love them! That's why I created this delicious strawberry crisp recipe that is sure to please.
Top it with ice cream, and serve it during the hot summer months for a refreshing dessert.
This recipe was created by modifying my strawberry filling from my strawberry pie recipe.
What's the difference between a strawberry pie and a strawberry crisp?
The main difference between a pie and a crisp, is the crust. A pie has a flaky pie crust, but a crisp doesn't require any pie crust. Instead, its usually a pie filling with a crumble topping.
The benefit of a crisp over a pie is that it has fewer calories and carbohydrates.
How to make a strawberry crisp?
- Make strawberry filling- combine strawberries and lemon juice in sauce pan. In a separate bowl whisk the corn starch and sugar together. Then add this to your strawberries. Cook on medium low covered for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Then bring to boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly.
- Make oat crisp topping- in a medium bowl add together your flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt. Whisk this together
- Add melted butter to flour oat mixture and mix with a fork until crumbly.
- Pour your strawberry filling into a 9x9 baking pan or 9 inch pie dish and then add your crumble topping. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 36-38 minutes.
Tips for Making Strawberry crisp
- When working with corn starch, always mix it with your sugar then add into your strawberries.
- If you are using fresh strawberries, you won't need to cook as long in the sauce pan.
- Spray your baking dish with non-stick cooking spray so strawberry filling won't stick. It also helps make cleaning it easier!
