Discover the ultimate dessert companion with our Classic Crumble Topping—an irresistibly buttery and golden blend of flavors that takes your favorite fruit fillings to the next level. This simple yet decadent topping combines all-purpose flour, two types of sugar, rolled oats, warm cinnamon, and a hint of salt for depth, creating a perfectly balanced mix of sweetness and crunch. Chilled butter is gently incorporated to form a crumbly texture that bakes to perfection, delivering a satisfying crunch atop bubbling fruit desserts like apple pie or peach cobbler. Ready in just 15 minutes, this versatile recipe is ideal for transforming seasonal fruits into cozy, crowd-pleasing treats. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or indulging in a quiet night at home, this crumble topping is your go-to for effortless dessert mastery.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir together until well incorporated.
Add the chilled and diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingertips, a pastry cutter, or a fork, blend the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Some small pea-sized pieces of butter should still be visible.
Gently fold in the rolled oats, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) if using the crumble topping immediately.
Spread the prepared crumble topping evenly over your desired fruit filling in a baking dish.
Bake the assembled dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. The crumble topping will set a bit more as it cools, providing a perfect texture to accompany your favorite fruit dessert.
