Nothing says summer like a fruit crisp served warm with vanilla ice-cream. I make fruit crisps often because I usually have all the ingredients at my house and I stink at planning ahead on dessert ingredients. If you are having a dinner party, make this a few hours in advice and let it cool and set on the counter. When it’s time to serve simply reheat in the oven for 15 minutes ate 350. Enjoy!
FAQ
Can I make this ahead?
My favorite way to serve fruit desserts, like crisps, is to bake the morning of the dinner party. I let it fully rest and cool on the counter. Before serving, just reheat in the oven for 15 minutes. You can also make this is advance. The fruit will soften more, but it will still taste great especially a little scoop the next day, warmed in the microwave and served with ice-cream. Store leftovers covered in saran wrap in the fridge.
Strawberry Crisp in a Pie Dish
Equipment
- 1 9 by 9-inch Pie Dish
Ingredients
- 5 cups strawberries, quartered, stems removed
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
For the crumble topping:
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 6 Tbsp. cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9 by 9-inch pie pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberries, flour, sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix until combined. The mixture will be thick and gooey. Pour into the pie pan.
For the crumble:
- In a second mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and cut the butter in the mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles little pebbles. Stir in the oats until all combined. Sprinkle the mixture over the strawberries. It looks likes a lot but will steep into the strawberries as it bakes. Cook for 45 minutes until the oat topping is light golden brown and the strawberries are bubbly. Let cool at room temperature. Serve warm and scooped in individual bowls with vanilla ice cream on top.
