Easy Strawberry Crumble with Oat Topping

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160ºC (fan) or 180ºC (conventional).

Step 2

Wash and trim the strawberries, then peel and chop the apples. Place the fruit in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, plain flour, and caster sugar to the fruit. Toss everything well to combine.

Step 4

Transfer the fruit mixture to an oven-safe baking dish or a cast-iron skillet.

Step 5

For the crumble topping, combine the butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground almonds, cinnamon, and plain flour in a separate bowl. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized bits. Alternatively, pulse the ingredients in a food processor until the mixture resembles chunky breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the fruit is soft and bubbling around the edges, and the topping is golden brown.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream.
