Strawberry Crumble For Two
This Strawberry Crumble For Two is a cozy small-batch dessert with juicy spiced strawberries, buttery crumble topping, and the perfect sweet crunch.
Ingredients
SAUTEED STRAWBERRIES:
- 3 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 2 Tbsps salted butter (You can use unsalted butter + 1/2 tsp salt)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- ⅛ tsp ground allspice
CRUMBLE TOPPING:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 Tbsps salted butter, partially melted
OPTIONAL GARNISH:
- Whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
TO MAKE THE CRUMBLE:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon, stirring until combined. Add the melted butter and using a spatula, mix until combined and 'crumbly-like'.
- Add to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crunchy in texture.
TO SAUTE THE STRAWBERRIES:
- In a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium-high heat, add the butter and heat until melted. Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vanilla and stir until combined and everything begins to bubble a bit, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the sliced strawberries and toss until well coated and cook for another 6-7 minutes, until tender and the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat. NOTE: For more tender peaches (if using fresh), you can cook for an extra 4-5 minutes or so, but be sure to reduce the heat to medium-low. Cool completely!
ASSEMBLE:
- In your favorite bowl(s), spoon in the sautéed strawberries and top with spoonfuls of crumble topping. Garnish with whipped cream or a scoop (or two) of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
- Enjoy!
