Notes
- If you'd like to see the ingredients listed in cups and ounces, please check the US Customary Link.
- Also, the amount of ingredients changes depending on the servings, so click on the number listed to change it to the number you prefer.
- If baking sounds daunting, crumbles are a great first recipe to try, as errors are pretty uncommon. There really isn't much that could go wrong here.
- Just make sure that the ratio butter and flour is 1:1, too little butter, and the topping won't be wet enough to bake well and become golden.
- I wouldn't recommend icing sugar for the topping, it's the granulated sugar that helps with the crispy texture too.
- You can also turn this apricot crumble into apricot crumble bars by following my recipe for Apple and Blackberry Crumble Bars recipe.
