Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Strawberry Filling
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 cups strawberries hulled and cut into ¼-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons cold butter cubed
  • ½ cup heavy cream

Method
 

    1. Prep the Oven & Pan

    Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish (round or square works perfectly).

    2. Make the Strawberry Base

    In a saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a glossy syrup.
    Remove from heat, then gently fold in the sliced strawberries. Be careful not to crush them—you want those juicy pieces intact.
    Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish and scatter small cubes of butter over the top.

    3. Prepare the Crumble

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and work it into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
    Pour in the heavy cream and mix lightly until a soft dough forms.

    4. Assemble & Bake

    Drop or spread the crumble mixture evenly over the strawberries.
    Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the strawberry filling bubbles around the edges.
    Serve warm and enjoy that perfect mix of juicy fruit and buttery crumble goodness 🍓
