fruit crumble

Topped baked dessert

A fruit crumble is a baked dessert of sweetened fruit topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, and sugar, served warm.

The topping distinguishes it from a crisp, which includes oats, and a cobbler, which has a biscuit or cake topping.

Apple and berry crumbles are common: We had rhubarb crumble with custard.
