This strawberry crisp is

Flavorful: Sweet strawberries, a buttery topping, and a touch of vanilla and fresh orange.

Easy: This recipe requires very little hands on time and no special equipment.

Packed with strawberries: Two pounds (about 5-6 cups) of fresh strawberries are used for this recipe.

Topped with an easy crumb topping: This is our go-to fruit crisp topping (see it here: peach crisp, blueberry crisp, apple pear crisp).

Made with basic ingredients: Aside from the fresh fruit, the remaining ingredients are pantry staples.

Recipe overview

*Full recipe below in recipe card*

Crumb topping: combine oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter. Place the topping in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Bake: Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown, about 35 minutes.

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.

Ingredients

Topping:

  • ⅔ cup old fashioned oats
  • ⅔ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 5 cups halved/quartered fresh strawberries, approximately 2 pounds
  • 1-2 tablespoons orange juice*
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-4 tablespoons granulated sugar*
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate or similar sized baking dish. Set aside.

Topping:

  • In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until well combined. Place in the refrigerator for several minutes while you proceed with the filling.

Filling:

  • In a large bowl, combine strawberries, orange juice, vanilla, sugar, and flour. Stir gently until well combined. Scoop or dump into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the topping over the strawberries, pressing some of it together with your fingers to form clumps.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is light golden brown. Cool slightly, serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

*The sugar and orange juice in the filling can be adjusted based on how sweet and/or juicy your strawberries are. Really sweet strawberries will require less sugar. Really juicy berries will require less orange juice. Drier, less sweet fruit (like off season strawberries) will likely require the higher amount of sugar and juice.
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.

    Wow wow wow!!! This recipe is a keeper! This crisp will be gone by tomorrow guaranteed. We do Sunday Sundaes where the kids do chores to earn ice cream and special toppings and they will definitely be loving this tomorrow night! The crisp may be the star this week though.. not the ice cream!

    Should this be baked covered or incovered?

      Uncovered. The topping might get wet and it won’t turn golden brown if it’s covered. Enjoy!

    Do you mean a 9-1/2 inch WIDE pie plate?

      Yes, wide. It calls for a 9-1/2 inch DEEP DISH pie plate. By “deep dish” I mean a pie plate that isn’t shallow.

    Delicious! However, WAY too sweet. It tastes a little too much like jam with crumble. I would recommend omitting the granulated sugar in the filling (strawberries are sooo good anyway!) and also in the crumble part. Also, adding a touch of lemon juice to the strawberry goo for that hint of lemon zest. Voila!
