I first came across "Humble Crumble", a dessert kiosk that sells the popular British dessert "crumble", at the beginning of this year when I went to Canary Wharf Winter Lights 2020. Since then, they have set up a permanent kiosk at Spitalfields Market, and I recently paid them a visit. If you have not been, do go because their crumble is delicious with the right ratio of crumble to fruit to custard/cream.
For a limited time and in appreciation for autumn and Halloween, they are offering limited edition pumpkin-spiced and apple crumbles served in a miniature pumpkin or pumpkin-crossed squash/gourd (technically). These can then be topped with meringue, rose petals, and nuts.
Humble Crumble started at Primrose Hill market in London in May of 2018, and they have set up at Maltby Street Market and other events across London.
I love pumpkin, so I really enjoyed this flavour! I loved that it was also served in a pumpkin, making it a picturesque autumn treat. There was a queue for these, and I got there at fifteen minutes before they opened, and I was the ninth person in the queue with many of the other people getting at least one of these. They will be served until and including Halloween.
