CRUST

FILLING

Preheat oven to 350F.

Combine melted shortening, oats, flour & sugar. Firmly pack ¾ of this mixture into an 8" X 8" baking dish. Arrange the strawberries over the top. Mix together the sugar & flour & sprinkle on top of the strawberries. Add the rest of the crumble mixture & pat down gently.

Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Alternately, place in the refrigerator & eat it chilled. It makes the filling more syrupy in consistency.
