Strawberry Crumble
Description
This simple strawberry crumble recipe is an easy way to make the most out of summer strawberries. Don't skip the scoop of ice cream on top!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light or dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom or allspice optional
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch plus 1 to 2 additional teaspoons if your berries are very juicy
- ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Vanilla ice cream for serving
Directions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F. Make the topping: stir the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom together in a medium bowl. Pour the butter of the top, then stir until the crumble is evenly moistened. Squeeze together with your fingers to form some clumps. Place in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Wash, stem, and quarter the strawberries, then place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch, honey, lemon juice, and vanilla. Stir to combine. Transfer to a 9×9-inch baking dish (or a deep 9-inch pie dish or a ~8×10-inch casserole dish), including any juices that collect in the bottom of the bowl.
- Break the crumble over the top, leaving some nice chunky pieces. Place the dish on a parchment-lined baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the filling is hot and bubbly and the topping is golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let (the filling will set up). Enjoy warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream.
