5cupsstrawberries, cut in to fourthsor about 2 lbs
3tablespooncornstarch
1/3cupsugar
Topping Ingredients
2/3cupold fashioned oats
3/4cupflour
1/4cupbrown sugar
1/3cupwhite sugar
1/2cupsalted buttermelted
Instructions
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 sized bowl and stir to coat well. Set aside as you mix the crumble topping.
To make the topping, mix together 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.
Pour the strawberry mixture in a 7 x 11 inch pan (see note below).
Sprinkle over crumb topping.
Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees, then increase 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.
Notes
This recipe can be baked in the following sized pans:
deep dish pie pan
7 x 11 inch (or 18 x 26 cm)
1.5 liter
1.5 quart
Baking times may vary based on the size of pan you used.(The pan pictured is 7 x 11 inches.)-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.
