There’s a mysterious thing about the arrival of summer, and for my purposes, it’s not only the warm sun and longer days. It’s the sweet, succulent eruption of flavor that accompanies the season’s strawberries. If you honestly love these ruby-red jewels as am I, you are in for a treat! Today, I will share my go-to recipe for the most delicious strawberry crumble. Prepare yourself for an explosion of summer in every bite.
Ingredients:

For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping:

- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 tbsp salt
Guidelines:

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven does something amazing, pause for a minute to lube a baking dish with a touch of butter. Believe me; it has an effect!
Step 2: Mix and Macerate
In a separate bowl, combine your fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Give them a toss until the strawberries are very much coated. Allow this mixture to sit for about 12 to 15 minutes. This allows the strawberries to release their natural juices, making a tasty filling.
Step 3: The Crumbly Magic
While your strawberry concoction sits, focus on the crumble topping. In another separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Once combined, add in the cool, cubed butter. Now comes the fun part — utilize your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a crumbly texture. It is like making edible sand castle material.
Step 4: Gather and Bake
Pour your macerated strawberries into the prepared baking dish, guaranteeing an even layer. Then, sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberries. Into the preheated oven it goes for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown color and the strawberry filling is bubbling with expectation.
Step 5: Cool and Serve

Resist the temptation to make a plunge immediately! Let your strawberry crumble to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes. This time allows the flavors to intensify and mingle. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an ultimate summer indulgence.
