Equipment

Ingredients
  

Strawberry Filling

  • 3 cups fresh strawberries tops removed; sliced and quartered
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional

Crust and Crumble

  • 1½ sticks unsalted butter cubed and cold
  • 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

Strawberry Filling

  • In a small bowl, toss together the strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Transfer to a medium-sized saucepan.
  • Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Boil for about 1 min. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until thickened and strawberries softened.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the one tablespoon of butter and vanilla extract, if using. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Allow the mixture to cool completely before proceeding to crust.

Crust and Crumble

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and line a 9X9-inch pan with parchment, set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. It's okay if there are a few larger chunks of butter, they will melt into the rest of the crust.
  • Press ¾ of the crust into the prepared pan. Pat down into an even layer. Pour the cooled strawberry filling over the crust layer, and smooth out evenly. Crumble the remaining crust evenly over the strawberry filling.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until set and the crumble on top is golden brown. Allow the bars to cool completely before removing them from the pan and cutting them into slices.
