Farm House Strawberry Crumble Recipe

A warm strawberry dessert with oatmeal topping.

Howdy! Chef Alli Here. Let’s Get You Cookin’….Shall We?? 🙂

Baked fruit desserts are always wonderful when served warm…with loads of vanilla ice cream. And we are fans of nearly any fruit dessert that comes with a baked oatmeal topping since that usually means there will be fruit and it’s juices ooooozing out….am I right?

One of our other favorite oatmeal crumble recipes for summer is Zucchini Oatmeal Crunch. I know, it might sound a bit odd, but trust me!

Nobody will realize that is zucchini in there because the filling tastes like apples, which is what most people think of when they see a dessert with a crumbled oatmeal topping.

And in August/September when you’ve got zucchini from the garden running out of your ears, you’ll be LOVING Zucchini Oatmeal Crunch…I promise.

In a mixing bowl, combine the crumble ingredients; spread the prepared mixture over the top of the strawberries in the baking dish.

Common Questions Asked About This Recipe

Can I used frozen strawberries instead of fresh strawberries in this recipe?

Absolutely. When fresh strawberries aren’t in season, frozen unsweetened strawberries can be substituted. Make the recipe as directed for using fresh strawberries.
If you use frozen strawberries that are packed in sugar, just reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe a bit.

Can I substitute other types of fruit in this dessert recipe?

Yes. We love to substitute peaches (or combine strawberries and peaches together) and I’ve also used blueberries, blackberries, and rhubarb, as well.

Is it okay to substitute quick oats in place of the whole oats?

Yep. Not a problem. I prefer the texture of the whole oats in the crumble topping, but I’ve used quick oats plenty of times and they work fine.

Why are the strawberries tossed with a cornstarch mixture?

Sugar and cornstarch are combined to toss with the strawberries to work as a thickener as the fruit bakes.

Can this recipe be made ahead and baked when ready?

Surely. If you’ve chilled the dessert in the fridge before baking it (which I’d recommend), add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Will this easy strawberry dessert freeze well?

You can freeze this strawberry crumble two ways: unbaked or baked. I like to double the recipe and put one of the unbaked desserts in the freezer. Then when I need a quick dessert, I can pull the strawberry crumble out of the freezer and bake from frozen….soon I have a warm dessert to serve my fam and guests.
If you bake this strawberry dessert from frozen, add 18-25 minutes to the baking time. Don’t thaw the dessert first – it’s better when baked from frozen.

Would this dessert be good baked in a cast iron skillet instead of a baking dish?

Such a great question! You sure can and it’s grand. Makes this dessert even more casual and rustic – pure comfort food!
