Description
This Strawberry Crumble is a sweet, juicy dessert topped with a golden, buttery oat crumble. With fresh strawberries baked until bubbling beneath a crunchy topping, it’s the perfect spring or summer treat—delicious on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
For the filling:
5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the crumble topping:
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup unsalted vegan butter (or regular), melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
- In a bowl, toss strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla. Spread evenly in the dish.
- In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
- Sprinkle topping evenly over strawberries.
