Crisps are one of my favorite ways to use fresh fruit. Lightly sweetened berries are baked until thick and bubbly and then topped with a crispy streusel reminiscent of a good oatmeal cookie. This strawberry crisp is delicious warm from the oven or even better topped with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream (be sure to take a look at my Peach Pecan Crisp and Apple Blackberry Crumble!).
Ingredients
- 4 cups strawberries hulled and quarted
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Almond Streusel
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed and softened
How to Make Strawberry Crisp
Preheat your oven to 350 ℉. In a large bowl add in the quartered strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch and vanilla extract and toss to combine. Transfer the strawberry mixture to a 2 quart baking dish and set aside. While the strawberries are macerating prepare the streusel. Add oats, brown sugar, flour, slivered almonds and salt to a bowl and stir combine. Add the softened cubed butter and mix in with a pastry blender, knife or your hands until the streusel has a crumbly texture.
Top the strawberries with the struesel mixture. Transfer the crisp to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the streusel is golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
