  • Preheat oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Combine dates, water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until filling mixture forms a paste, about 5 minutes. Add more water if filling gets too thick. Remove saucepan from heat and cool.

Spoon filling over over crust, smoothing with the back of the spoon, leaving a thin border between the filling and the edge of the dish. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over filling.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
