Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend the butter into the dry mixture until the texture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overwork the mixture so that it retains a light, crumbly texture.
Once mixed, the crumble topping is ready to be used. Sprinkle evenly over your choice of fruit for a pie or crisp.
Bake according to the directions of your fruit dessert, typically at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
