Equipment

paring knife
12-inch deep dish pie plate or 8-inch by 8-inch ceramic, heat-proof casserole dish.
small bowl
measuring cups and spoons
rubber spatula

Ingredients

Fruit Filling

4 Golden Delicious apples 1½ pounds, peeled, cored, and cut into ¼-inch slices
2 cups fresh strawberries 12 ounces, washed, hulled and cut into ⅛-inch slices
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons brown sugar packed

Crumble Topping

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup brown sugar packed, light or dark
½ cup unsalted butter melted
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon table salt

Instructions

Heat the oven and prep the apples. Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile, cut up the apples and set them aside in a 12-inch deep dish ceramic or glass pie plate.
4 Golden Delicious apples
Prep the strawberries. Cut the strawberries and set aside in a small bowl.
2 cups fresh strawberries
Add cornstarch and part of the brown sugar. To the bowl of strawberries, add the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Stir to combine, and let rest for 5 minutes while you prepare the crumble.
2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons brown sugar
Make the crumble. Add the flour, oats, remaining brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and salt to a small bowl. Stir well to combine.
1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup old-fashioned oats, 1 cup brown sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon table salt
Assemble. To the 12-inch pie plate, add the strawberries over the apples.
Top with crumble and bake. Pour the crumble mixture over the strawberries and apples, distributing evenly, and bake uncovered on the bottom rack of the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
The strawberry apple crumble is ready when the crumble is golden, the edges are bubbling, and when you insert a paring knife into the center of the crumble and there is no resistance.

Notes

Golden Delicious, Braeburn, or Jonagold are my top picks for this recipe because they retain their shape, are sweet and don't expel too much liquid after they've baked.

This dessert can also be made in an 8-inch by 8-inch ceramic, heat-proof casserole dish.
