The secret is in the name. These types of desserts are popular for one particular reason, the taste. Their appearance has nothing to do with why people love them. This indicates part of the origin, common people. Now, that being said, the type of dessert known as a crumble takes its name from the crust, usually on the top.

Crumbles and crisps are essentially the same. With the fruit mixture on the bottom, the pastry topping is spread dry over the top of the dessert where it becomes baked and crispy. Typical toppings are flour, nuts, bread or cracker crumbs, cookie or graham crumbs, or sometimes breakfast cereal or whole grains. Crisp refers to the American version. Crumble refers to its British cousin.
