Ingredients
Strawberry filling
- 750 g fresh strawberries ripe
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1½ tablespoon Cointreau liqueur can substitute orange juice for alcohol free
Crumble topping
- 1 cup rolled oats 90g
- 1 cup plain / all-purpose flour 150g
- ½ cup sugar 110g
- 120 g salted butter melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180c / 350f.
- Place plain flour, sugar and rolled oats into a bowl and mix lightly to combine.
- Add melted butter and vanilla, mixing well to combine - the mixture should look "crumbly". Then set this crumble mixture aside.
- Cut the green tops off the strawberries. Leave smaller ones whole, cut any large ones in half.
- Place strawberries into a baking dish and sprinkle over sugar, then sprinkle over Cointreau liqueur and give everything a little mix around.
- Using your fingers, place clumps of the crumble topping mixture over the top of the strawberries then bake for 30-35 mins, or until the crumble topping has browned and juice is bubbling up around the edges of the crumble.
- Serve hot, topped with ice cream if you like.
Notes
- The riper and juicier your strawberries are, the more tasty and saucy your result will be.
- You could substitute any other orange flavoured liqueur for the Cointreau (like Triple Sec or Grand Marnier) or orange juice if you want to go alcohol free.
- You will know when it is ready to come out of the oven when the topping is brown and there is juice bubbling up around the edges of the crumble.
- This is great eaten as leftovers the next day - been there. Done that. A few times. But it will be less saucy because the crumble topping will absorb some of that gorgeous sauce. Still tastes great though!
