This strawberry crisp is everything you could want it to be: sweet, tangy, and subtly spiced  It is just about perfect when topped with vanilla ice cream.

Strawberry Crisp | A Nerd Cooks

I have a bad habit of buying 2-for-1 pints of strawberries, regardless of how many I already have at home.  I can't help myself.  They're so good at this time of year.  Plus, I'm usually eating them for breakfast with yogurt and for lunch on this strawberry balsamic salad, so buying a ton of strawberries usually isn't a big deal.

However, this past week, I've been eating overnight oats, so the strawberries started piling up.  I thought a pie would be a nice way to use them up, but honestly?  I find pie a little fussy sometimes.  That's probably mostly because I'm still not very good at making pie crust.

All was not lost, however, because we have the crisp.  All of the pie-like goodness without any of the fussiness.

Sweet, ripe strawberries are quartered, doused with lemon juice to help cut through the sweetness a bit, and coated in a flour and sugar mixture.

The strawberry goodness is then topped with a crumbly mixture of sugar, flour, butter, and pecans, for crunch.  Salt, for contrast and flavor enhancement, and cinnamon, for spice, are also added.

Need more treats that feature strawberries? This Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam is 10/10 and these Strawberry Crumb Bars are pretty great, too!

    Strawberries piling up, such a lovely problem to solve! I am also no good with pie crust so I never think to make pie-like things but thanks for the reminder that crisps are an option! And this is such a beautiful one, can't beat that fresh strawberry color! Time to stock up on strawberries...
