EASY APPLE STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE RECIPE
Bursting with juicy strawberries and sweet apples, this warm and comforting dessert is perfect for any occasion. With a buttery crumble topping, it's a delightful treat that will leave everyone wanting more.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 Apple
- 2 pounds Fresh Strawberries (ripe ones work best)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ cup Granulated sugar (adjust the amount based on the ripeness of the strawberries)
- 2 tablespoon Water
For The Crumble:
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- ½ cup Light brown sugar (or regular white granulated sugar if you dont have any brown)
- ½ cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- optional: add a pinch of ground nutmeg for a spicier crumble
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 8.5 x 10 baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the crumble topping. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cut in the melted unsalted butter using a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- 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.
- In a large bowl, add the chopped apple, strawberries, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, and water to create a syrupy consistency. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the fruit, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- 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.
- Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- serve it with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
- leftovers in the refrigerator for up to about 4 days.
