Apple crisp (name used in the United States and Canada) or apple crumble (name preferred in the United Kingdom and Australia) is a dessert consisting of baked apples topped with a crisp crust. Ingredients usually include cooked apples, butter, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and often oats and brown sugar, ginger, and/or nutmeg. Many different kinds of fruit can substituted for apples, such as peaches, berries, pears, etc. One of the most common variants is apple rhubarb crisp, in which the rhubarb provides a tart contrast to the apples.
