Success tips
- Use fresh strawberries rather than frozen. They will hold up much better after baking.
- Cut the strawberries into similar sized pieces. I halve or quarter the larger berries and leave the smaller berries whole.
- Adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of your strawberries. The fruit can be sweetened with anywhere from 2-4 tablespoons of sugar.
- Mix up the topping first and place it in the fridge. It will firm up a bit while you are preparing the filling. This makes it easier to crumble over the strawberries.
- After baking, allow the crisp to cool slightly. The juices will thicken as it cools.
Serving and storage
Serve warm or room temperature topped with vanilla ice cream.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The topping will soften over time.

If you use frozen strawberries do you drain them first??
Celebrating Sweets
I have not made it with frozen berries. I would suggest thawing and draining them, and possibly even including an extra 2 teaspoons of flour to thicken up any extra moisture. Best of luck!

Hi. Can I bake this in a 9 1/2 x 13 casserole dish? Thank you.
Celebrating Sweets
Hi, Rhonda. Yes, but if you do you will need to double the recipe, or make a recipe and a half. The recipe as written won’t be quite enough to fill the 9×13 pan. Enjoy!
Teri

Can I make it ahead, assemble and bake at dinner? Or do you suggest I bake ahead of time and rewarm later?
Celebrating Sweets
You can try assembling in advance and baking at dinner, although I have never tried it that way. Enjoy!
