A crunchy topping for baked fruit is a sweet, textured mixture typically made from rolled oats, flour, butter, and brown sugar, often spiced with cinnamon. It's a classic topping for fruit crisps and crumbles, a dessert style originating in the United Kingdom and popular across the English-speaking world.
This topping is generally high in carbohydrates and fat, with the fat coming primarily from butter. It provides a good source of dietary fiber from the oats and some iron, with a typical serving containing around 200-250 calories.

The topping's name varies by region—it's called a 'crumble' in the UK and a 'crisp' in the US, though the distinction is now mostly blurred. Nutritionally, the oats offer soluble fiber, which can help with digestion and cholesterol levels.
