A crumble is a British dish that can be made in a sweet or savory version, although the sweetened version is much more common. Sweet variety usually contains boiled fruit given a mixture of fat (usually butter), flour, and sugar. The savory version uses meat, vegetables, and sauces to fill, with cheese replacing sugar in a crumbled mixture. The damage is baked in the oven until the top is crunchy. A variety of desserts are often served with Ice Cream, Cream, or Custard. Savory variations can be served with vegetables.
Popular fruits used in the ruins include apples, blackberries, peaches, rhubarb, gooseberries, and plums. The combination of two or more of these fruits can be used. The top can also include wheat rolls, almonds or other nuts, and sometimes sour milk (eg vinegar and milk) is added to give a more extravagant flavor crumble. Brown sugar is often sprinkled on topping crumbs, which are slightly caramelized when baked. In some recipes, toppings are made from broken biscuits (cake in American English) or even breakfast cereals, but these are not traditional.
Crumbles became popular in the UK during World War II, when crushed topping was an economical alternative to pies due to a shortage of pastry material as a result of the allotment. To reduce the use of flour rationed, fats and sugar, breadcrumbs or oatmeal can be added to the crushed mixture. This dish is also popular because of its simplicity.
In some parts of America a similar dish can be called crunchy .
