Strawberry Crumble
Description
Strawberry Crumble features a fruit filling of diced strawberries coated in cornstarch, sugar, and orange juice to enhance brightness and thicken juices during baking. The crumbly topping is crafted from oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt, bound and textured by melted butter mixed until clumpy. Baking at 350˚F allows the topping to brown and crisp while the strawberry juices bubble gently, giving a contrast of textures.
The dessert is typically served warm, often accompanied by vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream, adding creaminess to the tart and sweet berries. This makes it suitable for dessert after meals or cozy treats when strawberries are in season.
Frozen strawberries can be used with an additional tablespoon of cornstarch to compensate for extra moisture. The topping’s sugar can be adjusted with a mixture of white and brown sugar to taste. Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, retaining freshness for several servings.
