Servings 6 -8, approximately
Equipment
- baking dish (8.5 X 10 in / 22 X 25 cm) approximately
Ingredients
For the filling
- 2.2 pounds (1 kilo) fresh strawberries
- 1 apple
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons water
- ½ cup (100g) sugar
For the crumble topping
- 1 cup (90g) old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup (127g) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (100g) light brown sugar
- ½ cup (113g) butter (or block margarine), melted
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
Make the crumble topping
- Put all the ingredients for the topping in a large mixing bowl and stir everything together.
- Use your hands to form clumps. I like making some large and some small clumps. Set the crumble topping aside.
Make the filling
- Peel, core, and chop the apple. I like to cut it into chunks, but you could also grate it if you want more of a strawberry flavor.
- Wash and cut the strawberries. If they're really small, I just leave them whole, but for larger ones I usually cut them in half or in quarters.
- Place the fruit in a large bowl. Add the flour, sugar, and vanilla and stir everything together so that the ingredients are well combined.
- Transfer the fruit mixture to the baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Srinkle the crumble topping over the fruit.
- Bake the crumble for 40-45 minutes until the crumble is light golden brown and the edges start to bubble. Since ovens vary, keep an eye on it after about 30 minutes.
- Let it cool for about 20-25 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to about 4 days.

Baking Measurements
I have used weight measurements for all the recipes on this website. Even though I have also included American volume measurements for convenience, I highly recommend using a digital kitchen scale to weigh all ingredients for the most accurate measurements. Digital kitchen scales are more precise than cups, which is so important in baking, and they give the most accurate, consistent results. Happy baking!
