Regarded as close cousins of pies, crumbles are simple and hearty baked creations made with sweet or savory ingredients. The sweet varieties usually consist of fruit that is placed on the bottom of the tray and topped with a crumbly mixture of butter, sugar, and flour.

The savory variants employ meat or vegetables and use cheese as a replacement for sugar. Ground or chopped nuts and oats are a very common addition to the crumbly topping, which provides a more complex texture of the crispy cover. It is believed that the British crumble originated in the midst of the Second World War when original pie ingredients were hard to come by and were considered a luxury.

From its humble beginning, crumble became one of the most popular British dishes, especially in its dessert form.

It is then cooled and processed until smooth. This sauce is most commonly used for meat dishes, vegetable dishes, and for making stuffed peppers. It is also a crucial element of the traditional dish known as patatas a la importancia.
