Desert - Strawberry Crumble by Doriana E. - Recipia

To prepare this delicious strawberry crumble, start by carefully cleaning and washing the strawberries. Cut them into suitable pieces, neither large nor too small, to achieve a pleasant texture during baking. In the recipe, I used about 300 g of strawberries, but if you prefer a fruitier pie, feel free to add more, making sure to sufficiently cover a 22 cm diameter baking dish. It is important to maintain the ratio of 3/4 fruit and 1/4 dough, so that each bite is full of flavor. After preparing the strawberries, mix them with lemon juice, which will add a note of freshness, 2 tablespoons of sugar for sweetness, and a teaspoon of cornstarch, which will help thicken the fruit juice during baking. If you don't have cornstarch on hand, you can omit it, but the result will be slightly different. Mix all the ingredients well and set them aside to let the flavors combine. In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble dough. Mix the soft butter, which should be at room temperature, with brown sugar and vanilla sugar. Add a pinch of salt and, optionally, a pinch of baking powder to add an airy texture. Gradually incorporate the flour until you obtain a crumbly dough. It is normal for it not to be very compact, as we want to achieve that specific crunchy texture of the crumble. Once the dough is ready, grease a baking dish with a little butter to prevent sticking. Pour the previously mixed strawberries into the dish, spreading them evenly. On top, sprinkle the crumble dough, making sure to cover the fruit well. This topping will become crunchy and golden during baking. Preheat the oven to 180°C and place the dish inside. Bake the crumble for about 40 minutes, or until the dough turns lightly browned and crispy. The aroma that will spread in the kitchen will be irresistible! Once the crumble is ready, let it cool slightly before serving. It is delicious both warm and at room temperature, and can be enjoyed plain or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect contrast. Enjoy your meal!
