Old-Fashioned Strawberry Crumble Bake
This warm and comforting dessert combines sweet, juicy strawberries with a buttery golden crumble topping that turns crisp in the oven. It’s one of those simple homemade treats that fills the kitchen with an irresistible aroma and tastes even better when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Filling
6 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crumble Topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix gently until the berries are evenly coated.
Transfer the strawberry mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the strawberries.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
Allow the dessert to cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
