Tips & tricks

  • Equipment: 9-inch round or square baking dish (about 2-quart capacity).
  • Freezing: the baked crisp freezes for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat at 350°F (177°C) for about 20 minutes. You can also freeze the assembled, unbaked crisp (through step 3) for up to 3 months, then thaw overnight and bake. Don't refrigerate it unbaked, as the topping turns soggy.
  • Any dish that holds about 2 quarts will work. For individual servings, set ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until the topping is lightly browned and the filling bubbles at the sides; timing depends on their size.
  • Cut the strawberries into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces. Frozen chopped strawberries can be used as long as you don't thaw them first.
  • Vanilla: skip the bean and add 1/2 teaspoon more extract, or use vanilla bean paste (1/2 teaspoon along with the extract, or 2 teaspoons to replace both).
  • Quick oats can replace rolled oats one for one, though the topping will be finer and more powdery. Don't cut back on the flour.
