Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grab out an 8x8 inch baking pan. Set aside.

Strawberry Apple Filling

Core and peel the apples. Slice them into ¼ inch slices and cut those slices in half. You will have cubed-shaped apples.
In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, strawberry halves, sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt. Then pour it into the baking pan.

Crisp Topping

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry blender to cut into the dry ingredients. Then switch to using your hands. Mix everything together with your hands until a crumbly topping has formed.
Pour the crisp topping over the fruit filling and bake for 45-50 minutes. Once you see the top is golden brown and the berries are tender, you know it's done.
Let the crisp cool for about 15 minutes before serving with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream!
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

Baking Pan: Use an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking pan. You could also bake this in a pie plate.

Fruit: You want both the strawberries and apple chunks to be close to the same size. That's why I halve the strawberries and slice the apples into ¼ inch thickness and then cut those in half.

Crisp Topping: Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry mixture and then switch to using your hands. Mix everything together with your hands until a crumbly topping has formed.
