A '''crumble''' is typically a [[dessert]] with a crumbly topping consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and sometimes oats, baked over a fruit filling. Apple and [[rhubarb]] are two popular varieties. Savoury fillings such as meat, cheese or vegetables may alternatively be used. As a dessert, crumbles are traditionally served with [[custard]], cream, or ice cream.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-01-21 |title=The Food Timeline: History Notes-Puddings.

A '''crumble''' is a dish that can be made in a sweet or savoury version, although the sweet version is much more common. A sweet variety usually contains stewed [[fruit]] topped with a crumbly mixture of [[fat]] (usually [[butter]]), [[flour]], and [[sugar]]. A savoury version uses meat, vegetables and sauce for the filling, with [[cheese]] replacing sugar in the crumble mix. The crumble is baked in an oven until the topping is crisp. The dessert variety is often served with [[ice cream]], [[cream]], or [[custard]]. The savoury variety can be served with vegetables. |

Popular fruits used in crumbles include [[apple]], [[blackberry]], [[peach]], [[rhubarb]], [[gooseberry]], and [[plum]]. A combination of two or more of these fruits may be used. The topping may also include [[rolled oats]], ground [[almond]]s or other [[nut (fruit)|nuts]], and sometimes sour milk (e.g. [[vinegar]] and [[milk]]) is added to give the crumble a more extravagant taste. Brown sugar is often sprinkled over the crumble topping, which [[Caramelization|caramelises]] slightly when baked. |

==History== |
|||
Crumbles became popular in Britain during World War II,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/oct/18/crumble-cobbler-recipes|title=Simply the best|access-date= 2010-04-14|author= Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall|date= 18 October 2008|location=London|work=The Guardian}}</ref> when the topping was an economical alternative to pies due to shortages of pastry ingredients as [[Rationing in the United Kingdom|the result of rationing]]. To further reduce the use of flour, fat and sugar; breadcrumbs or [[oatmeal]] could be added to the crumble mix. The dish was also popular due to its simplicity. |

Acrumble is typically a dessert with a crumbly topping consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and sometimes oats, baked over a fruit filling. Apple and rhubarb are two popular varieties. Savoury fillings such as meat, cheese or vegetables may alternatively be used. As a dessert, crumbles are traditionally served with custard, cream, or ice cream.[1]
An apple crumble recipe involving a simple streusel topping appeared in the Canadian Farmer's Magazine in February 1917.[2] British chef and food writer Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall describes crumbles as a "national institution" that became popular in Britain since World War II, the topping being easier to prepare than pastry.[3] Crumbles in varying forms are common in Britain, Ireland, and across the Commonwealth of Nations. While the dish is also found in the US, a similar dessert known as an "apple crisp" bears the same name in American English.[4][5]
