Recipe FAQ

What desserts can I use crumble mix on?

Crumble mix is a versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, including pies, fruit crisps, and cobblers. You can also use it as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.

Can I make the crumble mix ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the crumble mix ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Just sprinkle it over your dessert before baking.

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?

You can use salted butter instead of unsalted, but you may need to adjust the amount of salt in the recipe. Salted butter contains salt, so you may want to reduce or eliminate the amount of salt called for in the recipe.

Recipe Tips

Make sure your butter is melted and cooled before adding it to the dry ingredients. If the butter is too warm, it will melt the brown sugar and create a sticky mess.
Use a fork or whisk to mix the dry ingredients together, making sure there are no lumps of brown sugar or flour.
For a crispy crumble topping, make sure the top of your dessert is exposed to the heat of the oven. If your dessert is covered with foil, remove it for the last 10 minutes of baking to crisp up the crumble topping.
