What is a crumble?
Crumble is the crumbled pastry sprinkled over fruit before cooking. After baking, you get a melting, juicy layer of fruit and a crispy layer of crumble.
It’s not very complicated to make this crumble dough. You need sugar, preferably brown sugar, flour or a mixture of flour and almond powder, and cold butter. I add a pinch of fleur de sel de Guerande to enhance the taste.
You can put all the ingredients in a food processor and work it by pulsing or use your fingertips to rub the ingredients together roughly
I sometimes shape the crumble dough into a ball and pass it through a large grater or sieve.
