Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • For the Filling:
  • 6 cups fresh strawberries hulled and quartered (or halved if small)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar adjust to sweetness of strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Crumble Topping:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup 1 1/2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, gently toss the prepared strawberries with granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until evenly coated. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the crumble topping.
  4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry blender, your fingertips, or two forks, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberry filling in the baking dish.
  6. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Let the crumble cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
