- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ginger

Crumble Topping
- 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
- ½ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Wash and slice the strawberries in a uniform size.
- Next peel, core and slice apples into thin slices. It is important to cut the pieces into a uniform size to ensure the cook quicker and more evenly.
- Add the apples to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice. Add the spices, sugar and flour and toss to coat.
- Careful stir in the strawberries being gentle to not smash the berry.
- Pour the fruit mixture into a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- Prepare the crumble topping by mixing the dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl.
- Use a pastry blender to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Sprinkle the crumbly mixture over the top of the fruit. Spread evenly and pat down gently.
- Bake in a preheated oven in the center rack position for 35-40 minutes. Check with a butter knife inserted in the crumble for the apples to be cooked until soft and no longer crunchy. Top will be golden brown and strawberries will create a delicious red syrup.
- Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm with either a scoop of vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Notes
Substitutions: If you do not have all of the spices on hand you can use extra cinnamon in place of nutmeg, allspice and ginger.
