Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) so it's nice and hot while you prepare the crumble.
In a bowl, combine the flour and cold butter cubes. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs, with some pea-sized pieces for extra texture.

Add the oats, sugar, and grated marzipan to the crumb mixture and give it a good stir to combine everything.
While the pears bake, wash your strawberries and hull them (remove the green leafy tops).

Once the pears have softened, take the dish out of the oven. Spread the strawberries evenly over the hot pears, creating a beautiful fruit layer.
Spoon the crumble topping loosely over the fruit, making sure you leave some larger crumbles for that delightful texture.
Finish it off with a sprinkle of flaked almonds for some extra nutty goodness. Bake the crumble for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and looks delicious.

Let the crumble cool slightly before serving it warm. Top it off with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or custard (if you'd like) for an extra special treat.
