Crumble Topping

March 6, 2018 By Anna Leave a Comment

Crumble Topping! Some of my favourite recipes require some crumble! You can make a wonderful crumble cupcake or add some to your ice cream. A few very tasty recipes are [Apple Crumble Cupcakes], ice-cream topped off with some homemade [Caramel Sauce] and Crumble Topping or some [Pear Crumble]. Check out the [recipe page] for more suggestions on how to use the crumble.

Good to know

  • Storing: Make sure to store your cookies in an airtight container if you are not eating all of them right away. For crunchy cookies; a cookie tin is the best way to store your cookies. For soft cookies; keep them in an airtight container to keep your cookies soft and moist.
  • Shelf Life: The crumble will stay good for over two weeks if stored correctly. If you like, you can store it in the refrigerator.
  • Refrigerating: You can store the raw crumble dough in your refrigerator wrapped in food wrap for several days. Put it in a resealable freezer bag to prevent it from drying out.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the raw crumble dough wrapped in food wrap and stored in a resealable freezer bag for several weeks if you do not want to bake the crumble right away. Let the dough defrost before you bake your crumble.
  • Gluten-Free: Use almond flour.
  • Organic: To make this recipe organic, only use organic ingredients.

Know What You Eat

Both when buying food or when making your own, it is important to inform yourself about the nutritional value. Have a look at the nutrition label, learn about your serving size and what nutrients this product will bring to the table.

If you want to compare different products and their values, it is easier to look at a label where the values are given per 100 grams. This way you get a better understanding of the categories certain products belong to when it comes to nutritional values. Is this a product with a high sugar content? Does it contain a lot of fibre? How does this product measure up if I am looking to stick to a low-sodium diet?

Keep in mind that if you are looking to eat healthily, you should not just avoid eating fat and/or sugar. We need both in our daily diet. Make sure however to be aware of where you get your lipids and sugars from. As a rule of thumb, you could say; variation is very important in your diet and in general, the closer your food is to come straight from the source, the better.

*All given nutritional information is an indication. Due to differences in how ingredients are produced, where they are purchased and how the recipe is prepared, nutritional values may vary.
