Tastes great served with vanilla ice cream! The strawberries became a bit runny and it was messy when serving, but still had great flavor. Next time I might add some cornstarch.

My whole family loved this! I added 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon to the topping mixture and baked it for about 5 minutes longer than suggested. We ate it with whipped cream on top. It was delicious!

I used Almond flour and followed recipe to the T. Next time I'll just use 3/4 cup of sugar. However it tasted great.

Overall it was delicious. I added a little light brown sugar to strawberries. Next time I'll incorporate a little vanilla bean or extract to make the crust pop and it won't just taste like flour and sugar. The day after flavor really hits you. It was great. I will make it again...

The strawberries are ripe early here in Georgia so we picked loads of them last weekend. I wanted something warm instead of the typical strawberries & cream so I searched and found this. I did add a bit of sugar and flour to the sliced berries to thicken then per other commenters. The crumb topping was made as directed with only the addition of a pinch of salt and some powdered vanilla that I had in the pantry. It baked beautifully. The berries are still a bit tart, but that's probably just the berries were not at their peak in flavor. My mother used this exact topping on her apple crisp and I've never seen another recipe that used it. This will be a keeper for all kinds of fruit. I'll just sweeten then berries a tad more if they aren't naturally sweet.
