You know those times when you are walking around the market and you see something that is just so unbelievably cheap that you just have to buy it. If fact, if you didn’t buy it you would later get home and regret it. Well, that is how I felt about these strawberries at the farmers market. They were $6 for 3 big crates of them. I mean I would have kicked myself later if I didn’t get them. So I did. And then I got home and stuffed as many into my mouth as possible and shortly thereafter I decided I was going to need to bake some things with my fresh strawberries. These strawberry crisps are perfect with the varying textures of the gooey strawberries and the crisp oats on the top. Not to mention the perfect ending to a spring time meal shared with friends!
Normally I eat all my crisps and cobblers with a scoop of ice cream but these were perfect on their own. And they were fabulously popular with our dinner guests for a Sunday evening dinner party!

Strawberry Crisp
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh strawberries, tops cut off and hulled
1/4 cup AP flour
1/4 cup oats
4 tbsp butter, unsalted, cut into small cubes
4 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Divide the strawberries into 4 ramekins and fill the ramekins to the top. (The strawberries will bake down so if the ramekins are overflowing that is fine.) Sprinkle 1/4 cup of white sugar over the tops of the strawberries. In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, butter, brown sugar, remaining white sugar and salt. Using a hand-held mixer, blend the ingredients until they are just incorporated and have a crumbly consistency. Sprinkle the mixture over the tops of the strawberries. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and place into pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the top of the crisps turns golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before eating.

I love crisps, crumbles, and cobblers. Strawberries are also my favorite fruit! Looks incredible.
Fabulous dessert! I love fruit desserts, especially when crisp is involved!
Those bowls of luscious strawberry crisp would all be empty if they were anywhere close to me!!! The color looks marvelous. I will miss my farmers market this weekend, but can’t wait for the next one!!!!
those look great! what a perfect snack/dessert for spring time. thanks for sharing.
This looks soooo good! Do you think it would work in a casserole dish instead? I only have 2 ramekins…but might use this recipe as an excuse to go get some more!
i’ve never had a strawberry crisp! I love apple crisp though, so I can imagine how good this is. It seems pretty healthy too, which is a great plus for a dessert
Ah, I do love farmers markets; especially great deals like you got on your strawberries. Looks amazing!

Crisps n crumbles are amoung the top of my favorites! I love this time of year with all the fresh fruits from the farmers market too… what a beautiful creation and blog you have. I just stumbled across it and will be back! Thanks for the recipe and beautiful photos!
These remind me of Ina Garten’s peach blueberry crumbles, which I make every summer. I love the look of the fruit juices bubbling and oozing down the sides of the ramekins. Gorgeous.
Perfect timing! I also bought strawberries and was wondering what else to make with them! Now I know what to cook tomorrow!
Wow! I mean REALLY wow! Those are spectacular! GREG
