Strawberry Filling:
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
Oat Crisp Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup butter, very cold and diced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup rolled oats
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan evenly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, combine the quartered strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix well until the sugar and cornstarch are evenly incorporated with the strawberries, ensuring the mixture is uniformly coated.
- Transfer Filling: Pour the prepared strawberry mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Prepare Crisp Topping: Add the flour, cold diced butter, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a food processor. Pulse the mixture until the butter breaks down and resembles coarse crumbles, creating a crumbly dough texture.
- Combine Oats: Pour the crumb mixture into a small bowl, add the rolled oats, and use your hands or a fork to press and mix the oats into the buttery crumb mixture until thoroughly combined.
- Assemble the Crisp: Evenly sprinkle the oat crisp topping over the strawberry filling in the baking pan, covering the strawberries uniformly.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to thicken. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice or zest to the strawberry filling.
- You can substitute half the strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a mixed berry crisp.
- Use cold butter to ensure a crisp, crumbly topping texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for the best taste and texture.
