One of my favorite times of year here in North Carolina is strawberry season. There simply is just nothing quite like the strawberries of spring, picked fresh right out of the field. They are perfectly ripe all the way through, juicy, and just sweet as can be.
Fresh Strawberry Crisp is one perfectly simple, perfectly delicious dessert for strawberry lovers.
I'm fortunate to live in an area with a plethora of strawberry farms, with three u-pick fields within about 5 miles of my house. Oh, how I'm itching to get out there and pick some tasty little beauties!
And then itching to whip up a few more batches of this Fresh Strawberry Crisp. Or Strawberry Cobbler. Or Nutella-Strawberry Cheesecake Bites. Or Strawberry Pudding ... I'm not fussy when it comes to enjoying my berries.
But my new favorite way to enjoy beautiful strawberries? Fresh Strawberry Crisp, by far! So when it came time to pick my recipe to share in this berries challenge, it was pretty much a no-brainer.
To make this easy dessert, simply start with some sliced fresh strawberries ...
And then top them with an easy-to-make crumble of old-fashioned oats, flour, brown sugar, and melted butter.
It's best to use a fork to sort of "cut" the ingredients together into crumbs ... you want it to stay lumpy and bumpy.
To get a good crunchy texture for the crisp, be careful not to mix the crumble topping too much. It's best to use a fork to sort of "cut" the ingredients together into crumbs ... you want it to stay lumpy and bumpy.
If it's mashed together into more of a pasty texture, it will bake up more like a dough on top of the strawberries ... instead of the crunchy'ish texture wanted for a crisp.
Then scatter the oat crumbles all over the top of the strawberries in a baking dish, and bake everything up until the berries are all bubbly along the edges and the topping is a light golden brown.
And pretty tasty, too! This one got an "It's deeee-licious!" from our Little Miss H, who happily devoured several bowls from this batch ... and probably would have gobbled up the entire pan if I'd have let her.
Serve it up warm or cold, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream, for one perfectly simple, perfectly delicious dessert the whole family will love. Especially those strawberry lovers like me!
Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
