A crumble is a dish of typically British origin containing stewed fruit topped with a crumbly mixture of fat, 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 close to a meal.
Popular fruits used in crumbles include apple, blackberry, peach, rhubarb, and plum. Sometimes sour milk (vinegar and milk) is added to give the crumble a more extravagant taste. Also, brown sugar is often sprinkled over the crumble topping.
A similar dish, without sugar, can be made with a filling of minced beef or lamb.
