It is believed that Apple Crumble originated in Britain during World War II. As per historians, the Apple Crumble recipe was invented to replace the Apple pie as it was cheaper and easier to make. Over the years, Apple Crumble has gained immense popularity worldwide. Today, it has become a customary preparation in the US during fall when the apples are in season. Traditionally, people in the UK used apples in crumble recipes. Nowadays, many recipes use pears and berries as substitutes for apples.
