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
Optional Serving
- Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and prepare it for the filling.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the hulled and halved fresh strawberries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat the strawberries evenly. Spread this mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Pour in the melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and clumps together slightly.
- Assemble and Bake: Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the strawberry filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping turns a golden brown and the strawberries start bubbling around the edges.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the cobbler to cool for a few minutes after baking to settle. Serve warm, optionally with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a creamy contrast and enhanced indulgence.
Notes
- Fresh strawberries are preferred for the best flavor, but frozen strawberries can be used if fresh are unavailable. Thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
- Adjust sugar amounts based on the sweetness of the strawberries and your personal preference.
- Serving with vanilla ice cream adds a creamy texture and cold contrast that pairs beautifully with the warm cobbler.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
