STRAWBERRY CINNAMON CRISP - Cook with Kushi

Strawberry Cinnamon Crisp is a simple, yet so delicious and stunning dessert where the juicy and sweet strawberries are topped with crispy, nutty and buttery crumb topping. If you are looking for a crowd pleaser dessert then you should definitely try this out!

With fresh and beautiful strawberries in season now, I love to use them in my recipes often. Strawberry Cinnamon Crisp is one such recipe that is rich and delectable, fruity and buttery, sweet and flavorful - all in one that a dessert can be and must be 🙂 A perfect dessert for summer brunch barbecue (BBQ) weekend, potluck, party or any get together.

Fruit crisps are so easy to make and require very basic ingredients from your kitchen. Once you get hands on preparing the cripsy crumb topping you actually don't need a recipe. Plus this is also the best way to use fruits that are getting soft in your pantry.

Simply dump in the strawberry, flour, sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon powder mixture. Then top it with old fashioned oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon powder and cold butter. To give it additional crunchy texture sprinkle sliced almonds on top. To keep your topping light and crunchy, make sure you do not over mix it. Bake it till the strawberry juices start bubbling and topping becomes golden brown.

You can also make this dessert any time of the year with frozen fruits or using other seasonal fruits. Plus, you can also combine 2 or more fruits if you like. Some of my favorite fruits for crisps are rhubarb, apple, peaches, raspberries, and blackberries. You can prepare this in any oven safe dish or baking pan of your choice. You can also bake in a ramekin as individual servings.

Don't forget to serve this dessert with ice-cream or whipped cream. This is optional, but pairing it with a scoop of ice-cream makes it a party-worthy dessert.
