Step 3 - Prepare the crumb topping mixture.

In a large bowl, add brown sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon powder, and mix.
½ cup Light brown sugar, ¼ cup All purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add this to the above mixture.
⅓ cup Butter
Now using a pastry cutter (or your fingers or fork), work the butter until coarse crumbs are formed.
Add rolled oats and mix. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes for the butter to firm up.
⅔ cup Old fashioned Rolled Oats

Step 4 - Bake

Spread the topping mixture (Step 3) over the strawberries (Step 2) evenly.
Sprinkle sliced almonds. Bake for about 35 to 45 minutes till the juices start bubbling around the edges of the pan, and the topping turns golden brown in color.

Let this cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Strawberry Crisp or Strawberry Crumble is now ready. Serve this with your favorite ice cream, and enjoy.

Notes

Expert Chef Tips

Granola or Muesli can be added to the crumb topping instead of old-fashioned rolled oats for additional crunch and flavor.
Do not skip adding flour to the strawberry mixture. When baked, strawberries will release a lot of liquid which will be absorbed and thickened by the flour. The absence of flour will result in a watery base and make it difficult to serve.
Use any seasonal fruits of your choice. I have tried this recipe with different berries, apples, peaches, plums, rhubarb, etc.

Storage

Store any leftover strawberry crumble in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. It can be served cold. However, if you prefer it warm, reheat it in a microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or until just warmed through.
