Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) ripe strawberries, hulled and quartered
- 90 grams (3.2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
Dry Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Sweet Ingredients:
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare oven to 180°C, ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Create the crumble topping by blending dry ingredients including oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
- Drizzle melted butter over the dry mixture, gently stirring until the texture becomes coarse and resembles loose pebbles.
- In a separate container, combine fresh strawberries with cornstarch, granulated sugar, water, and vanilla extract, carefully coating each fruit piece.
- Transfer the seasoned strawberries into a suitable baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
- Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping uniformly over the strawberry layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, watching for a golden-brown topping and bubbling fruit syrup around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let the crumble rest for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to settle and filling to slightly thicken.
- Serve warm, optionally accompanied by a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
Notes
- Select ripe, juicy strawberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your crumble.
- Adjust sugar levels based on the strawberries’ natural sweetness to prevent an overly sweet dessert.
- Use gluten-free flour and oats to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of sliced almonds or chopped nuts to the crumble topping for extra crunch and nutty depth.
