Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • strainer
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Pie dish

Ingredients

Filling

  • 3-4 Apples Braeburn, Fuji, Jonagold are all great options
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch sub tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

For the Oatmeal Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened cut in cubes
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a pie dish with cooking spray.
  • Wash the apples and strawberries. Remove the core from the apples and slice into very thin pieces. I like apples baked with their skin on; however, remove the skin prior to baking if desired. Hull the strawberries and cut into thin slices.
  • Place fruit in a large mixing bowl and toss with cornstarch, white sugar, lemon extract, and lemon zest.

  • Pour the coated fruit mixture into the greased pie dish. In that same mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients: brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Toss them together, and then add softened cubed butter. Fold together until all dry ingredients are coated with the oil. It will be a crumble-like texture.

  • Enjoy warm - top with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just with a spoon!

Notes

If the Oatmeal Streusel mixture is too moist or resembling a wet sand-like texture, add all purpose flour 1 tablespoon at a time until it’s dried up a bit.
You can store it in the pie dish you baked it in covered with cling wrap in the refrigerator. Or transfer to an airtight container for up to 5 days.
It’s best to reheat this Strawberry Apple Crisp in an oven safe dish in the oven at 400°F for 8-10 minutes. This will ensure the oat topping stays crispy.
Gluten-free substitutes in this recipe are 1:1 (flour, oats, and cornstarch)!
