Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries Hulled and sliced or frozen
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar Adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1 cup All-purpose flour Can substitute with gluten-free
- 1/2 cup Rolled oats Optional for added texture
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar Light or dark
- 1/2 cup Cold butter Cubed
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract Optional for extra flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries
- Instruction: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit for 10 minutes to release the juices.
Step 2: Make the Crumble Topping
- Instruction: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3: Assemble the Crumble
- Instruction: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the strawberry mixture to a baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberries, covering them completely.
Step 4: Bake the Crumble
- Instruction: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
Step 5: Rest and Serve
- Instruction: Remove the crumble from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Frozen Strawberries: If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
- Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Nutty Twist: Add 1/4 cup of chopped almonds or walnuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
