Crisp

A crisp, also known as a crumble, is a type of baked dessert that typically contains fresh fruit, butter, sugar, and flour. The fruit is usually sprinkled with sugar and then topped with a streusel-like mixture of flour, butter, and often oats. The dish is then baked until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is tender.

Crisps originated in the United Kingdom and are thought to date back to the early 1800s. The first known recipe for a fruit crisp appeared in Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management in 1861. The dish gained popularity in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.

Fruit crisps are typically made with apples, pears, berries, or stone fruits such as apricots, plums, or cherries. The topping can be made with a variety of different ingredients, but most recipes call for flour, butter, sugar, and oats.
