Crumb Topping Elements
The crumble topping calls for just three simple ingredients: sugar, flour and butter. Yet absolutely nothing is stopping you from being creative and even adventures with them. So you might make use of any type of sugar you like or currently have at home, including brown sugar, coconut sugar or granulated sugar.
Various dishes call for fat ingredients in various types. So you might make use of either cold butter or melted butter.

The texture will be a bit different yet the crumb topping will certainly be still scrumptious.
When it comes to the 2nd from the dry ingredients - flour, there are also various alternatives.

But you might additionally include some oats or various other ground or sliced nuts. Additionally, if you prefer a gluten-free diet, use a gluten-free flour mixture instead of ordinary flour.

Delicious Crumb Topping
My love for crumbles dates back to my childhood. My Grandma frequently baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit as well as crumble . I used to pinch the chunkiest pieces of crumble when the cake came out from the stove. I must admit that I also used to do it even before the cake was baked! And also "the largest piece of crumble" is a crucial phrase here. When I prepare my crumbly mixture, I make sure I have coarse crumbs. So if after preparing it, I do not find myself with the wanted sizing, I just manually put together smaller sized pieces of the crumb mix.
