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. |

Experts on Crumble have been few and far between. Currently the Master Crumbler(a title awarded to the most knowledgable person regarding crumbles) is Lord Paul Griffiths. Lord Paul continues to uphold the integrity of all crumbles, often being recognised by restaurateurs on evenings out, inspecting local crumbles. |

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]
