Recipe Highlights

• This is a simple and easy dessert that is quick to put together on a weeknight.
• Strawberry + apple make a delicious combination of flavors for this crisp recipe.
• You can make this dessert all year round, even when it’s not strawberry season by using frozen fruit.

Ingredients

You’ll need the following ingredients for this strawberry apple crisp:

• Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are great for this recipe when they are in season. You can use frozen strawberries, but don’t thaw them first.
• Apples: Really any type of apple will work, but some types are better than others for baking. For this crisp recipe, use Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Fuji apples.
• Lemon juice: Lemon juice brings out the flavors of the fruit and prevents the apples from browning.
• Vanilla extract: Just a tiny dash for a little bit of vanilla flavor.
• Sugar: Granulated sugar is used to mix with the fruit. Brown sugar is used to make the crispy oat and nut topping.
• Flour: Flour helps absorb some of the juices in the fruit base so it is not too liquidy.
• Spices: Cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and salt add lots of cozy flavor and go really well with the apples.
• Rolled oats: These are used to make the apple crisp topping.
• Nuts: A combination of walnuts and pecans make a crispy, crunchy, flavorful topping.

Equipment

• 8 x 8 Baking Pan
• Mixing Bowls

Instructions

Step 1: Peel, core and cut the apples into bite sized chunks and slice the strawberries. Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.

Step 2: Mix the granulated sugar and flour with the apples and strawberries until they are evenly coated.

Step 5: Spread the oats and nuts mixture evenly on top of the fruit layer.

Step 6: Bake for 350F for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy.

Variations

Storage & Reheating
