Is apple crisp and apple crumble the same?

A crisp topping is made with a combination of flour, sugar and butter. A crumble is a baked dish of fresh fruit (berries, apples, plums, etc.) that is topped with an oat-based streusel.

Step 1

Gather all your ingredients. – Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

– Wash the cranberries (if using fresh) and eliminate any bruised or mushy ones. – In a medium sized saucepan, cook the apples, sugar and cinnamon over medium heat until the apples begin to soften (approximately 10 minutes).

Step 3

– Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and Earth Balance margarine (or butter) in a bowl. Blend with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

Step 4

– Fold the cranberries into the apple filling.

Step 5

Spoon the apple filling into a deep baking dish or pie plate. Top with the crumble mix.

Step 6

– Bake for about 30-45 minutes, until topping looks crunchy. You want the fruit to start to bubble. If the topping starts to brown too much, cover with foil until complete. *Bake with foil under the baking dish to catch any spills. Take care when removing from the oven as the fruit will bubble and will be very hot.
