Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Coat an 8-inch square pan generously with cooking spray.

Step 3 -In a large, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and melt it in the microwave, about 1 minute on high power.

Step 5 -Reserve 1 cup of the crumble mixture for the topping.

Step 6 -Transfer the remaining crumble mixture to the prepared pan and hard-pack it into the bottom, pressing until it is even and smooth across the bottom of the pan.

Step 8 -Spread the strawberry mixture evenly over the crust in the baking pan.

Step 9 -Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture over top.

Step 11 -Place the pan on a wire rack and allow the bars to cool for at least 1 hour.

Step 12 -Slice and serve.
