Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and quartered (about 1.25–1.5 lb) Use ripe but firm strawberries
  • 1/4 cup white sugar For the filling
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch Thickens the berry juices
  • 2 tsp orange juice Adds brightness; lemon works too
For the topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats Gives texture; don’t use instant
  • 2/3 cup white sugar For the topping
  • 2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed For chew and color
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup melted butter Unsalted or salted; adjust salt accordingly

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a pie pan with baking spray or grease with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the quartered strawberries, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 2 tsp orange juice. Stir gently to coat and let sit for 5 minutes to macerate.
  3. Add 3 tbsp cornstarch and 1 tsp vanilla extract to the strawberries. Stir until the berries are evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy.
  4. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it into an even layer.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats, 2/3 cup white sugar, 2/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup melted butter over the dry ingredients. Stir with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and holds together when squeezed.
  7. Spoon the topping evenly over the strawberry layer, covering as much surface as possible.
Baking
  1. Bake on the center rack for 35–40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  2. Let the crisp cool for 10–15 minutes so the filling sets slightly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
