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 ensure the cobbler doesn’t stick and bakes evenly.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss gently until the strawberries are evenly coated with the mixture. Spread this strawberry filling evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and evenly moistened.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the strawberry filling in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the strawberries are bubbling nicely.
- Serve and Savor: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly after baking. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent and delicious dessert experience.
Notes
- Using fresh, ripe strawberries will enhance the flavor and sweetness of the cobbler.
- You can substitute frozen strawberries if fresh ones are not available; just thaw and drain any excess liquid before using.
- For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- Let the cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.
- Vanilla ice cream is optional but highly recommended for an extra creamy contrast to the warm cobbler.
