Peanut Butter Jelly Crumble
Description
Peanut Butter Jelly Crumble features a filling made from fresh strawberries sweetened and thickened with sugar and cornstarch, providing a juicy, syrupy base. The topping blends old-fashioned oats with brown and white sugars, flour, softened butter, and creamy peanut butter until crumbly and sandy in texture, then baked to a golden crisp. The oven baking melds the flavors and textures, creating a dessert reminiscent of a traditional crumble but with a peanut butter twist.
The finished dish balances the tangy sweetness of strawberries with the rich, nutty topping, offering contrasting textures—soft, juicy fruit and crisp, buttery crumble. It is best served warm and complemented by a scoop of vanilla ice cream to add cool creaminess. For added texture and flavor, chopped peanuts can be sprinkled on top. This dessert brings a familiar comfort with a unique peanut butter element that enhances the classic fruit crumble experience.
Ingredients
strawberry filling
- 4 cups strawberry halved or quartered
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- pinch salt
crumble topping
- 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cups brown sugar loosely packed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar white
- pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- ¼ cup peanut butter creamy
- vanilla ice cream for serving
- peanuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. You need a 9-inch pie plate or 9x9 inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir everything together. Transfer the berries to the dish.
- To make the topping, stir together the oats, sugar, flour and salt. Add the softened butter and peanut butter and use a fork to incorporate it into the dry ingredients. You can also use your hands to crumble it up and toss it in the mixture – I toss/combine it for a full 5 minutes until it is really incorporated and crumbly – almost the whole mixture is like wet sand. Sprinkle it evenly over the fruit.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the fruit is warm and syrupy and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a dollop of creamy peanut butter. If desired, you can sprinkle peanuts on top too!
