Equipment

1 peeler (optional for apple skins)
1 cutting board
1 sharp knife
1 large mixing bowl
1 mixing spatula
1 medium mixing bowl
1 deep dish 9 inch pie plate (8x8 or 9x9 square baking dish is fine too)

Ingredients

For the fruit filling:

3 peeled apples sliced (I used Fuji apples)
3-4 cups strawberries sliced
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon)
3 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the crisp topping:

12 tbsp butter melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup slivered almonds

For serving:

vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Optional** Peel your apples prior to slicing.
Thinly slice the strawberries and apples, then add them to a large bowl.
Add brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice and all purpose flour to the fruit. Toss everything to coat and try to make sure there is no un-mixed flour.
In a separate medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals.
Add the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, flour and slivered almonds to the melted butter. Mix to combine. The mixture should be clumping together and resemble wet sand.
Transfer the fruit filling to your deep dish pie plate or square baking dish, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the surface.
Bake for 30-45 minutes for until the top is golden brown and crisp to the touch.
LET THE CRISP COOL for at least 45 minutes to let the juices thicken. If you cut into the crisp too soon, it will be very runny.
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
