    Why You’ll Love this Recipe

    If you love heading to the farmers market to pick up some fresh berries during the summer like we do, then make sure to grab an extra basket for this simple recipe!

    It is the perfect summer dessert (especially during strawberry season) and a way to use that fresh fruit for those weekend BBQs, or even a fun easy dessert recipe for a weeknight out on the back porch with your family!

    Expert Tips

    This recipe can be baked in the following sized pans:

    • deep dish pie pan
    • 7 x 11 inch (or 18 x 26 cm) – pictured in this recipe
    • 1.5 liter
    • 1.5 quart

    Baking times may vary based on the size of pan you used.

    • Adding sugar to fresh strawberries brings out the natural juices in the strawberries. So, when you pour the strawberries into the bottom of the pan, there will be liquid as well. That’s perfectly normal.
    • The strawberry filling thickens as it cools.

    Strawberry Crumble with Oats

    Using oats combined with a few other ingredients helps create that crumbly topping that blends so perfectly with that sweet, smooth strawberry layer!

    Using old fashioned oats are ideal, for that special texture they provide!

    Simple ingredients:

    It doesn’t take much to make this strawberry dessert! In fact, you may already have most of the ingredients on hand!

    • 3 tbsp cornstarch
    • ⅓ cup sugar

    Crisp Topping Ingredients

    • ¾ cup flour

    Ingredients for strawberry crumble recipe

    How to make strawberry crumble:

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • Prepare the strawberries by cutting off the tops and cutting into fourths. If the strawberries vary a lot in size, try to cut them approximately the same size.
    • Sprinkle the cornstarch and 1⁄3 cup sugar over the strawberries in a medium bowl and toss strawberries until mixed thoroughly. (Image 1 & 2 below.)
    • Set aside the fruit mixture as you mix the crumble topping.

    • To make the topping, mix together the dry ingredients: oats, flour, brown sugar and white sugar.
      Drizzle over melted butter slowly and mix until everything is coated well. With clean hands, mix together all the ingredients until it is nice and crumbly. (Image 3 & 4 below.)

    • Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, then increase the temperature to 375 and bake about 10-12 minutes more.

    • You’ll know the strawberry crumble is done when the mixture is bubbling around the edges and middle, and the crumbs are golden brown.

    • Serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

    Should I refrigerate strawberry crumble?

    Yes! Although it is baked, it is best to store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container so it will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

    How do you keep crumble topping from getting soggy?

    Using the butter as specified, it will help tie the crumble ingredients together but will also help the ingredients crisp up! If you have leftovers, it’s best to reheat in an oven to allow the crisp to crisp up!

    How do you thicken fruit for crumble?

    The flour will actually help the liquid thicken up to create a consistency that’s desired for a crumble!

    What’s the difference in a strawberry crisp and a crumble?

    A crisp usually has more of a streusel topping and a crumble does sometimes have more of a cake topping. However, they can be very similar!
