Apple Crumble is a traditional dessert with its roots in British cuisine. It emerged during World War II, when food restrictions limited access to some ingredients, and crumble became a simple and economical alternative to other more elaborate desserts like apple pie. In Latin America, this delicious dessert goes by various names and variants, depending on the country. For example, in Mexico and some Central American countries, it is commonly known as "apple crumble" or simply "apple dessert with a crust," while in Argentina and Chile it can be found under the name "apple crumbs." Its simplicity and the use of accessible ingredients have made it very popular in the region.
This dessert is characterized by a crunchy layer made with butter, flour, sugar, and oats that covers the cooked apples, highlighting the natural flavor of this fruit. The combination of ingredients creates a perfect contrast between the softness of the apples and the crunchy texture of the topping, making it a favorite to enjoy any time of the year.
