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
- Vanilla ice cream (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.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently to coat the strawberries evenly with the mixture, and then spread this filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, baking powder, and salt until uniformly mixed. Stir in the melted unsalted butter until the mixture becomes crumbly in texture.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberry filling. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Fresh strawberries can be substituted with frozen strawberries, but reduce cornstarch slightly to account for excess moisture.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with a vegan margarine.
- Storing leftovers in the refrigerator is recommended; reheat gently before serving.
- Optional toppings like whipped cream or fresh mint can enhance presentation.
