In this article you will find out how to make strawberry crumble. I am going to give you the recipe and include a video (at the end of the article) that will show you how it’s made. So, let’s get started!
Strawberries grown on the vine are better tasting than any you can buy in the store. However, if you find yourself with a carton of strawberries you need to use up, here is a simple and tasty recipe for Strawberry Crumble.
STRAWBERRY CRUMBLE
A delicious strawberry dessert recipe that’s quick and easy to make! This gorgeous Strawberry Crumble is made with ripe, juicy strawberries and topped with a streusel crumb topping.
Why it works
This is a light dessert that takes only minutes to prep and really celebrates the fresh, ripe berries of the season.
Since it doesn’t take long to prep, it makes a great last minute or weeknight dessert to make when you want something sweet, simple, and still somewhat good for you.
The crumble topping is crisp, buttery, and so flavorful. It makes an amazing contrast to the strawberries. It is based off my favorite streusel recipe that has the best crumbly top.
Strawberry crumbles make your home smell absolutely amazing. It creates a mouthwatering aroma that gets everyone excited to dig in.
It is amazing warm when paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
To brighten the flavor of the strawberries, you can add a tablespoon or two of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
For the best consistency, you should thoroughly coat the strawberries in the sugar and corn starch. The cornstarch will turn all the fresh strawberry juice in to an irresistible sauce.
If your strawberries are very ripe and sweet, you can reduce the amount of sugar to ¼ – ⅓ cup
If you want the crumble to resemble a strawberry crisp, you can reduce the amount of flour by ⅓ cup and replace it with old-fashioned oats. I also like the addition of sliced almonds for added crunch and flavor.
F.A.Q.s
Can I use other berries besides strawberries?
Yes! This recipe works great with other berries and sliced stone fruits.How do you make crumble crumbly?
My trick to getting nice crumbles is the same one I use for streusel. I like to let my butter soften slightly so you can fully incorporate butter into every bit of flour possible, so when you press, it sticks together. From there, press the mixture together well, then chill or freeze. When you are ready to crumble, gently break off pieces from the pressed mixture.

Strawberry Crumble
As regular readers know, I have the self control of a child when I spy bargains of my favourite fruit & veg. So every now and then, I go on a bender of whatever it is that I’ve overloaded on.
A few weeks ago it was broccoli (evidence -> all my Broccoli Recipes) and cabbage (hence the Chinese Chicken Salad and Everyday Cabbage Salad I recently posted). Last week, it was corn (nothing made it here).
Currently, it’s strawberries. No Churn Strawberry Ice Cream from a couple of weeks ago. Today – Strawberry Crumble.
A GREAT, EASY STRAWBERRY DESSERT
I used to be massively short on strawberry dessert recipes. With all the cooking shows I watch, all the magazines I flick through, all the cookbooks I browse, I just don’t really recall coming across recipes that caught my eye that truly celebrated strawberries.
Plenty where they were lined up neatly on tarts, or used as token decorations.
But that’s not what I was after. I wanted recipes that used loads of strawberries.
Anyone else had similar thoughts???
So in recent years, I’ve embarked on strawberry benders and am slowly but steadily building up an arsenal of fresh strawberry dessert recipes. This Strawberry Crumble is the latest addition.
Recipes like this make me so glad that I’ve learned how to make recipe videos because no photo could capture the amazing vision of the bright red syrup bubbling along the edges when you pull this out of the oven.
And then that moment when I crack through the golden nubbly topping and scoop it up…and you cop an eyeful of those plump strawberries dripping with that bright red syrup… and the smell! If only you could smell it!!!!
