Apple and Strawberry Crumble

4 servings

30 minutes

Crumble with apples and strawberries is a cozy embodiment of British cuisine, a simple and incredibly delicious dessert with a crispy crust. Historically, crumble emerged in the UK during World War II when ingredients for traditional pies were scarce, and housewives sought ways to preserve the sweetness of baked goods. In this recipe, juicy apples and fragrant strawberries create a perfect combination: apples provide softness and a slight tartness, while strawberries add rich sweetness. The caramel notes of brown sugar and the crunchy crumble made from butter and flour turn the dish into a true gastronomic delight. Crumble is served warm, often complemented by vanilla ice cream or delicate cream sauce, creating a harmony of flavors and textures. Perfect for cozy home evenings or friendly gatherings.
