Apple and Fig Crumble

15 minutes
Crumble with apple and fig is a refined dessert from European cuisine. It combines the juiciness of apples and the sweetness of figs, giving the dish a rich, fruity flavor with a slight tartness. The crunchy nut-flour crumble with cinnamon and butter adds textural contrast and spice aroma. Historically, crumble originated in the UK during food shortages when dough was replaced with crumbly topping. Today it has become a favorite among desserts due to its simplicity in preparation and delightful taste. This dish is perfect for a cozy family tea time or as an exquisite addition to a festive table. Crumble can be served warm, accompanied by vanilla ice cream or light cream, making it even more sophisticated and unforgettable.
