commonly asked questions
Correctly measuring your ingredients like the butter will help to ensure the crumble is crunchy rather than soggy. Add too much butter will result in a greasy and soggy topping.
They are essentially the same thing. For me, I like to call it streusel when I add oats to the topping.
