INGREDIENTS

CRUMBLE

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 1⁄2 cups all- purpose flour
  • 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 3⁄4 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

 

STRAWBERRY FILLING

  • 3 pounds strawberries
  • 1⁄2 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of salt

 

HOW TO MAKE IT

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Make the crumble topping: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, hazelnuts, salt, and nutmeg. Mix on low speed until the mixture comes together in small clumps. Set aside.
  2. Make the strawberry filling: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries, light brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Let the berries macerate on the counter for about 10 minutes, then place them in a 12.5-inch oval roaster or 10-inch or larger fry pan.
  3. Crumble the topping over the strawberry filling in the pan and bake for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until the filling is bubbling, and the topping is golden brown. If grilling: use indirect heat. Remove from the oven or grill and let cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
