Apple Crumble •History Crumbles originated in Britain during the 2nd World War because the ingredients needed to create the bases of a normal pie weren’t available. Pie’s would require too much flour and sugar to make the pastry. So people in the 2nd World War made a simple mixture of flour, margarine and sugar and used this to make the top of the crumble. The dish is also popular to its simplicity.
