The Most Scrumptious Crumble Recipes For When You Want Something Ooey, Gooey, and Fruity

Every Southerner knows the joy that is a melty, ooey, gooey casserole dish of deliciousness otherwise known as cobbler—be it peach, blackberry, strawberry, or apple—yet not as many know the difference between a cobbler, buckle, crisp, and crumble. Crumbles are a subset of the beloved baked fruit desserts that involve a more textured buttery, sugary crust that doesn’t typically include oats. (Oats are what transform a crumble technically into a crisp, of which we have the best crunchy recipes ever.) But the best thing about a Southern crumble: It’s wonderfully versatile. We have crumble recipes that can be served in a bowl with ice cream, as hand-held bar cookies (like our buttery pineapple crumble bars), or even for breakfast in a coffee cake rendition. You’ll be hard-pressed to pick, as long as you have some fresh seasonal fruit on hand. Here are our favorite crumble recipes to make any day a little bit brighter.

Raspberry-Almond Crumble Bars

Recipe: Raspberry-Almond Crumble Bars

A perk of this grab-and-go bar cookie recipe: You can use frozen berries if you're running low on fresh. Raspberry jam gives even more juicy flavor.

Let's be real: It's always a good idea to have a slow-cooker recipe for any classic Southern dish, if only to free up your prep time. Set it and forget it.

A nutty, crumbly streusel topping makes classic berry cobbler even more scrumptious. If that's possible.

We gave traditional lemon bars a little extra crunch for the road. A cookie base, lemony filling, and crumbly topping make one tasty trio.

Streusel definitely makes a cobbler also qualify as a crumble—and that makes us very, very happy. This fruity casserole dish is going to be your new favorite to throw together.
