Strawberry - These are a vibrant red fruit that is juicy and tasty. Strawberries when baked turn into juicy jam like texture which taste amazing with the buttery crumble.
Cornstarch - It provides a natural thickness this fruit crumble. You could try replacing the corn starch with tapioca or arrow root starch.
Unsalted Butter - The butter mixes in with the crumble topping to help giving it that lovely crunchy topping. For a dairy free option you could swap the butter with margarine.
Sugar - it is used in both crumble and filling to provide the sweetness.
Baking powder - I use a pinch of baking powder which lightens the crumble and makes it crispy.
