Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make the crumble topping: combine the quick-cooking oats, toasted rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter and pour it over the oat mixture. Stir until well combined, cover, and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  2. Ten minutes before serving, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 teaspoons of the granulated sugar in a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the strawberries and raspberries and cook, stirring often, until the fruit has softened and released its juices, 2 to 4 minutes.
  3. Whisk the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water, then scrape it into the pan with the fruit. Cook, stirring constantly, until the fruit is very tender and the juices are bubbling and thick, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
  4. While the fruit cools, combine the Greek yogurt, vanilla, remaining 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Break the chilled crumble into bite-size pieces with a spoon. Serve the warm fruit topped with the crumble and dolloped with the yogurt.

Tips and Storage

  • Do not skip the cornstarch; it thickens the berry juices into a glossy sauce.
  • The crumble mixture can chill overnight, making this easy to assemble at serving time.
  • Toast the rolled oats before mixing for deeper, nuttier flavor.
  • Store the fruit, crumble, and yogurt separately in the refrigerator to keep the topping crisp.
