Strawberry Crisp Recipe

Strawberry season is a favorite in our household, and today’s recipe for strawberry crisp from PS contributor Ann of On Sutton Place is one that is sure to be added to our menu very soon! Delicious, sweet and oh-so-simple to make, this is the perfect summer dessert.

Hello again! One of my favorite things to make, any time of the year, is a fruit crisp. A crisp goes by many other names. Cobbler, pandowdy, buckle or Brown Betty. They all have some sort of topping over sweetened fruit. You can safely bet that the topping has flour, sugar, oats and some sort of fat to hold it all together…usually butter. The most common crisp is, of course, apple. My favorite though is Strawberry Crisp and that’s what I’m sharing today.

This recipe is quick and easy enough for a weekday dinner and pretty enough for a picnic or party. It can easily be doubled and baked in a 9 x 13 pan. This particular combination of topping ingredients makes enough for a nice, thick layer of crunchy goodness. There’s nothing worse than stingy topping on a fruit crisp!

I tend to make some of my favorite recipes during certain seasons of the year. This strawberry crisp is a definite spring into summer dish. Another summer favorite is my Pasta Salad.

A perfect summer meal would be burgers on the grill, Summer Pasta Salad and Strawberry Crisp for dessert. Another favorite for summer suppers is Grilled Chicken and Rosemary Potatoes.

As always, I’d like to thank Amy for having me over to share something sweet from my kitchen. I’ll be back next month with another easy and quick dish for you to add to your summer menus!
