n.
small crumbs; (British) crisp, flour and butter mixture used as a topping
Crumble
A crumble is a dish of
British origin containing stewed
fruit topped with a
crumbly mixture of
fat (usually
butter),
flour, and
sugar. The crumble is baked in an oven until the topping is crisp. It is often served with
custard,
cream or
ice cream as a hearty, warm dessert after a meal. Popular fruits used in crumbles include
apple,
blackberry,
peach,
rhubarb,
gooseberry, and
plum. The topping may also include
rolled oats, ground
almonds or other
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
caramelises slightly when the pudding is baked. In some recipes the topping is made from broken
biscuits (
cookies in
American English) or even
breakfast cereals, but this is not traditional.
