Ingredients
 
 

  • 5 cups Strawberries
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon Orange zest

Crumble

  • 1 cup Rolled oats
  • ¾ cup Flour all purpose
  • ¾ cup Brown sugar dark or light sugar will work
  • ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ cup Butter unsalted, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 200c (400f) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish.
  • Wash and dry your strawberries. Remove the stem and cut each strawberry in half. Add the strawberries to a large mixing bowl along with granulated sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix with a wooden spoon until you can't see the cornstarch and the strawberries are well coated.
  • Make the crumble topping. Into a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, kosher salt, cinnamon, and rolled oats. Mix with a spoon until well combined.
  • Pour the melted butter and mix with a spoon until well combined.
  • Pour the strawberry mixture into a 9-inch pan (i used a pie pan) and smooth it into an even layer using a spoon.
  • Top the strawberries with the crumb topping using your clean hands to distribute the mixture evenly.
  • Bake in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes (depending on the oven) or until the oat topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbly.
  • Serve warm with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes

  • Start with fresh and ripe strawberries for the best flavor in your strawberry crumble. Look for berries that are plump, bright red, and fragrant to ensure a delicious result.
  • Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the strawberry filling in your baking dish to ensure every bite has that delightful combination of fruity filling and crunchy topping.
  • Bake your strawberry crumble at a moderate temperature until the top is golden brown and crisp, and the fruit is bubbling underneath - this ensures a perfect texture contrast.
  • Taste your strawberries before adding sugar to them. If your strawberries are very sweet, you can add less sugar to the strawberry mixture.
  • Allow the crisp to cool for 20 to 30 minutes before serving it. This step will allow the filling to thicken up and be more delicious!
  • Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with the back of a knife.
