Perfect for any occasion, this recipe balances refreshing fruit flavors with a satisfyingly crisp texture, making it a crowd-pleasing treat suitable for family gatherings or a simple after-dinner indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Strawberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh ripe strawberries, washed and sliced
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Crunchy Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free option)
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling: Wash and slice the strawberries into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, toss the strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice to enhance their sweetness and add brightness. Set aside to marinate briefly while preparing the topping.
  2. Make the Crunchy Topping: In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, rolled oats, cinnamon, and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the ingredients come together in a crumbly texture, essential for achieving the golden crunch after baking.
  3. Assemble the Strawberry Crunch: Spread the strawberry mixture evenly in a baking dish. Sprinkle the crunchy topping generously over the fruit, ensuring full coverage to get a perfect balance of juicy fruit and crispy topping in each bite.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the assembled dish for 30-35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbly. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken gently.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the topping; keep it crumbly to maintain a crunchy texture.
  • Let the dessert rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to thicken the strawberry juices.
  • Serve warm for the best crunch experience.
  • Adjust sugar levels according to the sweetness of your strawberries.
