Ingredients
Instructions
- Cream the oleo (butter) and add the brown sugar, flour, and walnuts to make the crumble topping.
- Pat the mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool, then crumble the topping and pat it back into the pan.
- Save 2 tablespoons of the crumbles for topping before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nut-free version, substitute walnuts with rolled oats or shredded coconut. Ensure the butter is softened for easier creaming with the sugar. For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon. If you prefer a sweeter crumble, increase the brown sugar slightly. This recipe can also be adapted with other fruits, like blueberries or raspberries, for a different twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Strawberry Crumbles warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful dessert. They also pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a glass of refreshing Icy Slush to balance the sweetness. For a brunch option, consider serving alongside coffee or tea for a lovely afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover crumbles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you'd like to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, simply warm in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the crumbles soggy.
