A '''crumble''' (British English) or '''crisp''' (American English) is a [[dessert]] with a crumbly cake-like topping, sometimes with oats, baked over a fruit filling. Apple and [[rhubarb]] are two popular varieties. Savoury fillings such as meat, cheese or vegetables may alternatively be used. As a dessert, crumbles are traditionally served with [[custard]], cream, or ice cream.
