Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Filling
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the strawberries are evenly coated, then spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly but holds together slightly.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberry mixture in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling around the edges.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Make sure to coat the baking dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with a plant-based alternative.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
- Adjust sugar levels in the filling according to the sweetness of your strawberries.
