Definitions:-

To bake: To cook in an oven.

To chop: To cut food into small even-sized pieces using a knife or food processor.

To grease: To apply a layer of fat to a surface to prevent food from sticking, e.g. grease the baking tray with butter.

To rub in: A method of incorporating fat into flour by rubbing the fat with the fingertips until it combines with the flour to form a mixture with a breadcrumb-like consistency, e.g. rub the butter into the flour and add enough cold water to form a smooth dough. Pastry, scones, cakes and biscuits are made using the rub in method.

!Note: - you can vary the fruit, or add other dry ingredients like chopped nuts or oatmeal into the crumble mix.
