Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1 cup butter cold, cubed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour all-purpose or gluten-free
  • ½ tsp salt

For the filling

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉.
  • In a large bowl, Combine butter, sugar, flour, and salt. Use your hands, pulse in a food processor, or use a pastry cutter until crumbly texture forms. It should resemble coarse sand with small chunks
    Press half of the mixture firmly into a lined baking pan (8x8 or 9x9).
  • Mix filling ingredients (strawberries, sugar cornstarch, lemon juice). This creates a thick, glossy filling while baking. Pour over your first layer of crust.
  • Sprinkle remaining crumble over the top. Bake at 350°F for 35–40 minutes
  • ✔ Top should be golden✔ Filling should be bubbling slightly
  • Let bars cool completely (or chill in fridge).
