Crumble
A
crumble, also known as a
brown betty, is a dish of British origin that can be made in a sweet or savoury version, depending on ingredients used, although the sweet version is much more common. A sweet variety usually contains stewed
fruit topped with a crumbly mixture of
fat (usually
butter),
flour, and
sugar. A savoury version uses meat, vegetables and a sauce for the filling, with
cheese replacing sugar in the crumble mix. The crumble is baked in an oven until the topping is crisp. The dessert variety is often served with
custard,
cream or
ice cream as a hearty, warm dessert after a meal. The savoury variety can be served with accompanying vegetables.
