For the Filling:
- 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and cut into quarters
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tsp orange juice
For the Topping:
- 1 cup flour
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a pie pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, orange juice, and white sugar. Stir to mix well. Then add the cornstarch and vanilla extract and stir again until all the strawberries are well coated with the mixture.
- Pour Filling into Pan: Transfer the strawberry mixture evenly into the prepared pie pan, spreading it out smoothly.
- Prepare the Crisp Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, old fashioned oatmeal, white sugar, light brown sugar, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Add Butter to Topping: Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until crumbly and coarse, ensuring all dry ingredients are moistened.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the strawberry filling in the pie pan. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Fresh strawberries provide the best flavor; however, frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
- Adjust sugar depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free oats if necessary.
- Excess topping can be stored and baked separately as a crunchy addition to yogurt or cereal.
- This dessert is best enjoyed the day it is made but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
