Ingredients
  

CRUST & TOPPING

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 3 eggs, slightly beaten

FILLING

  • 4 cups fresh strawberries, cut in half
  • 1 tbsp fresh-squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper allowing for overhang so you can lift the cooled bars out of the pan to cut.
  • In a stand mixer, add the flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest. On low speed, mix until combined.
  • Add in the butter and mix until you get pea-sized pieces of butter.
  • Add in the beaten eggs and mix until a crumbly dough comes together.
  • Press ⅔ of the dough evenly into the bottom of the parchment-lined baking dish and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and sugar. Mix until combined.
  • Pour the strawberry mixture over the crust and even it out with a rubber spatula.
  • Crumble the remaining dough over the strawberry filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until the crumble appears slightly golden brown.
  • Pull the baking dish out of the oven and set it aside to cool completely before cutting the bars.
