Strawberry Crisp

You don’t have to wait for autumn for your favorite fruit crisp. Celebrate summer with a delicious Strawberry Crisp.

Strawberry Crisp is a light, flavorful spring dessert that’s perfect for your next dinner party or a weeknight treat. Topped with a crunchy, golden rolled oat topping with a sweet and juicy strawberry base, it will be your new favorite for parties this summer.

So, What Is A Crisp?

I’m a huge fruit crisp fan. In fact, my mother’s apple crisp is one of my favorite desserts to make for my friends. I love jazzing up my recipes though, and with strawberry season in full swing, what better time to make this delightful crisp?

But what is a crisp, really? Is it different than a crumble or cobbler? Cobbler is usually made with a biscuit or cake batter topping. Between a crisp and a crumble though… the differences are a little harder to tell and the terms are used pretty interchangeably. Some will say that crumbles have a different texture or bigger pieces in the topping, but they both have some sort of crispy, crumbly topping over the fruit. With all of these delicious desserts, the fruit can be adjusted to what’s in season.

Making Strawberry Crisp

Strawberry Crisp shows just how easy home cooking can be, and that simple recipes don’t have to be boring when you add small ingredient change-ups (like in our Strawberry Pretzel Salad). In this case, I’m adding almonds to a traditional rolled oats, flour, sugar, and butter topping.

To prepare this recipe, mix the crisp topping ingredients together, slice your strawberries, and layer the two together. Bake, then serve with vanilla ice cream.

It’s so quick and easy, you’ll make it again and again.
