Strawberry crisp is a classic dessert loved for its sweet and tangy fruit filling topped with a golden, crunchy crust. Traditionally baked in an oven, we've adapted this recipe to be made in an air fryer, making it quicker and just as delicious. The air fryer method not only speeds up the process but also crisps the topping perfectly without heating up your entire kitchen. This recipe is a great way to enjoy the abundance of fresh strawberries, especially during the peak season.

Instructions

Preheat air fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the dessert.

Prepare strawberry filling

In a mixing bowl, combine strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the strawberries are evenly coated.

Pro tip: Adjust sugar if your strawberries are very sweet or tart.

Make the topping

In a separate bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until a crumbly mixture forms.

Pro tip: For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.

Assemble the crisp

Spread the strawberry mixture evenly in a small baking dish that fits your air fryer basket. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the strawberries.

Pro tip: Do not overfill the dish to allow air circulation.

Cook in the air fryer

Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Pro tip: Check halfway through cooking and rotate the dish if needed for even browning.

Serve

Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm with vanilla ice cream.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this strawberry crisp warm, paired perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a unique twist, try topping it with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of nuts before air frying. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply pop it back into the air fryer for a few minutes to regain its crunchy texture.
