I love an easy tasty fruit recipe.   This strawberry crumb dessert qualifies for easy and tasty.

I like mine served warm and a few scoops of vanilla bean ice cream.   

Summer is my favorite season due to all the fresh fruits and vegetables and all the warm weather.    I would be happy with just eating fruits and vegetables all day long as long as I can have a yummy dessert like this one.

Ingredients

• 2 pints chopped strawberries
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup oats
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 375.

In a bowl mix together strawberries with white sugar and cornstarch.

Stir until sugar is dissolved and strawberries look glossy.

Transfer to a baking dish.

In another bowl combine all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, almonds and melted butter.

Stir until the mixture is crumbly and fluffy.

Sprinkle crumb mixture over the strawberries.

Bake 30-35 min or until strawberries become bubbly.

Serve with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream.

You could substitute any type of fresh fruit into this recipe, or mix a few of your favorite fresh berry fruits together in one recipe.  

 When blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are in season, I usually buy a few extra pints and freeze them to use later in desserts or smoothies.  

My freezing tip:  Rinse fruit and let air dry.  Place on a cookie sheet and spread out as the fruit is not touching.  Place cookie sheet in the freezer for a few hours until the fruit is individually frozen.   Once completely frozen, place fruit into a freezer-safe bag.  This allows your fruit to be separate and not frozen in a large clump.  This allows me to use small portions of the fruit and not the entire bag.
