Hi Judith, it absolutely is on the liquidy side. Fortunately there are 3 things you can do to thicken her up! 1. Use fewer strawberries. I said it in the video because I didn't follow my own recipe. These things happen and somethings can't be changed with no consequences! 2. Pre-cook the filling. This feels like a shame because the beauty of a crumble is that it is supposed to be EASY! But you can absolutely combine all the filling ingredients in a pot and cook until thickened. This is still going to be on the looser side unless you also do #3. 3. Add a thickener. My thickener of choice is tapioca because it is clear and tasteless. In this recipe you could add 1-2 Tablespoons tapioca flour or finely ground quick-cooking tapioca. Cornstarch is a close second. Use closer to the 2 Tablespoons. Just make sure that either one boils in the center or you will be able to taste and feel the starch on your tongue. Happy Baking!

I made this and the flavor was amazing but it was SO liquidy. Like fruit soup! How can i avoid this in the future?
