How to Make Apple Strawberry Crumble:

Apple Strawberry Crumble Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 red apple (or your choice of sweet or tart apple)
• Fresh strawberries (ripe ones work best)
• Granulated sugar (adjust the amount based on the ripeness of the strawberries)
• Vanilla extract
• All-purpose flour
• Water
• Old-fashioned oats (rolled oats)
• Light brown sugar (or regular white granulated sugar)
• Unsalted butter
• Ground cinnamon (optional: add a pinch of ground nutmeg for a spicier crumble)

Directions:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the crumble topping. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the unsalted butter using your hands or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
3. Peel, core, and chop the apple into chunks. If you prefer a stronger strawberry flavor, you can grate the apple instead. Wash and cut the strawberries, leaving them whole if they're small or halving/quartering them if they're larger.
4. In a large bowl, add the chopped apple, strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and a little water to create a syrupy consistency. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
5. Transfer the fruit mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
6. Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the fruit, making sure to cover the entire surface.
7. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly around the edges.
8. Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

For extra indulgence, you can elevate this simple dessert by serving it with a generous scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. The creamy coolness of the ice cream complements the warm crumble, creating a delightful contrast that will send your taste buds into pure bliss. Drizzle some of the syrup from the pan over the top for extra sweetness!

Storage Tips:

Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Apple Strawberry Crumble Recipe Tips:

• Feel free to experiment with other fruits like raspberries, blueberries, or peaches to create your own unique crumble.
• You can also try using fresh figs, as they caramelize beautifully and add a mild flavor to the dessert.
• For a vegan option, replace the butter in the crumble topping with margarine (make sure it is block margarine, not the soft spread kind).
