How to Make Healthy Strawberry Crisp

The first thing to know is that you should always gather all the ingredients before making the recipe. Get amazed by how easy this recipe comes out to be.

Step 1: Heat up the oven to 375°F. Butter a medium-sized shallow casserole dish.

Step 2: Peel apples. Chop them into ½ inch pieces into the shallow buttered dish. You can also thinly slice them.

Step 3: Add the frozen strawberry slices and lemon juice to the chopped apples. Toss gently to coat them.

Step 4: Add vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch to the dish. Mix the ingredients gently until they are combined well with the fruits.

Tip: The width size is critical to keep the topping crispy. Squishing everything into a smaller dish will keep the topping from spreading, and the fruit’s liquid will also affect its texture.

Apple Crisp Topping

Apple crisp topping is different. There are no oats or nuts. But it is still crunchy when baked and is absolutely divine!

Step 1: Combine the flour, brown sugar, freshly grated nutmeg, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix them all well.

Step 2: Now add the butter. Use your hands to mix until it forms a crumbly, pebbly texture.

Tip: Cold butter will produce the most desirable texture for this topping.

Step 3: Sprinkle about one-third of the topping over one side of the fruit mix. Turn it around and sprinkle the rest of the topping over it.

Step 4: Bake the apple strawberry crisp for around 50 minutes. The dish should start turning into a deep golden brown color.

Tip: Be careful regarding the baking and keep an eye as u bake. Your oven might bake faster.

Step 5: Remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for about 15 minutes. Enjoy it with caramel sauce or vanilla ice cream. So yum!!

Additional Tips

Make this easy apple crisp ahead of time if you need it. You only need to put it together the day before you want to bake it. Just leave the topping off until you are ready to bake.
Use a crunchy apple so that it holds its shape while baking. Golden Delicious Apples, Granny Smith, PinkLady, or HoneyCrisp, all work well.
Thinly sliced fruits bake evenly and aren’t too crunchy.
Add nuts (chopped) or graham crackers (crushed) to the topping and get an extra crunch.
Serving the apple strawberry crisp with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream is terrific.
Adding some lemon zest to the apple strawberry crisp topping will make the dish look and taste more appealing.

Substitutions

Fresh strawberries are also good to use if you don’t have frozen slices.
Substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar if you like.
For a gluten-free apple strawberry crisp. Replace all-purpose flour with oat flour.
You can substitute butter with coconut oil (melted) or vegan butter (melted). You get a dairy-free vegan apple strawberry crisp this way.

Storing the Apple Strawberry Crisp

You can store any leftover crisp at room temperature. If you need to keep it longer, put it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Cover it tightly with aluminum foil on the pie plate before placing it in the refrigerator.

Note that the leftover crips remain good to eat for up to three days. After that, the strawberries start losing their appetizing taste and texture. They tend to break down.

Reheating Leftover Crisp

Preheat your oven to 350 °F and cook the crisp for 10 to 15 minutes. Reheating this way keeps the topping intact and crispy.
