apple crumble

Baked orchard dessert

Apple crumble is a baked dessert of sliced apples topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, and sugar.

The British answer to American apple crisp, it's simpler than pie—no bottom crust, just fruit and topping: We had apple crumble with custard for pudding.
