Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon for spice
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar for tossing strawberries
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats for the crumble topping
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour for the crumble topping
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar light or dark
  • 8 tablespoons unsalted butter cold and cubed
  • pinch cinnamon additional for the crumble

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with sugar and a pinch of cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer the strawberries to a buttered baking dish, spreading them out in an even layer.
    4 cups fresh strawberries, 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
    1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 0.75 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup brown sugar, pinch cinnamon
  3. Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This creates the crispy topping that will bake into a golden crust.
    8 tablespoons unsalted butter
  4. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the strawberries in the baking dish, covering all the fruit but leaving some gaps for bubbling.

  5. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Remove the crumble from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes—this allows the juices to settle and makes serving easier. The warm, bubbly filling contrasted with the crunchy topping makes this dessert irresistible.
