Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

• 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or a splash of lemon juice to the strawberries before baking.
• Substitute half the oats with chopped nuts for added crunch and texture.
• Use frozen strawberries if fresh are out of season; just thaw and drain excess liquid before assembling.

Fruit Filling

• 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Crisp Topping

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the halved strawberries with granulated sugar. Gently toss them to evenly coat the berries with sugar and set aside to macerate for about 10 minutes.
2. Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Assemble the Crisp: Transfer the sugared strawberries into a baking dish, spreading them out evenly. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top of the strawberries to cover them completely.
4. Bake the Crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly around the edges.
5. Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

• For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour.
• Fresh, ripe strawberries work best for the juiciest filling.
• Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your strawberries.
• Cold butter ensures a crumbly and crisp topping.
• Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
