star ingredients<\/h3>\n

Rolled Oats – <\/strong>I love to add rolled oats crumble because it adds variety in texture, plus the added benefit of whole grain! Try with rolled barley or any mixed rolled cereal as well.Butter – <\/strong>Everything is better with butter! Adds richness to your crumble and helps with creating a golden crisp crumble.Brown Sugar – <\/strong>I like to use brown sugar over white, because the added molasses adds a rich, caramelized crisp to the recipe.Cold Water- <\/strong>it may seem like a insignificant portion of this recipe, but cold water is what gives your crumble its distinct texture. Make sure your water is as cold as possible when adding to your flour\/sugar\/oat mix<\/p>\n

Chef’s Notes<\/h3>\n

This is a very versatile, classic crumble topping that can really be customized to any flavors you desire. I love to use it on blueberry lemon cobbler, apple crisp, oatmeal and peach cobbler, as few examples. It’s also great on ice cream sundaes! You can also switch up the spices and flavors within the crumble itself, like cardamom, anise. You can also swap vanilla extract for flavors like, orange, lemon or coconut extracts.\u00a0When preparing your crumble, be sure to use your fingers to press the butter, flour and cold water together. This creates “nooks and nuggets” within the pastry that produces a great texture in your crumble after it bakes. If you want to keep your hands less messy, invest in a pastry cutter, which does most this work for you.
