This Graham Cracker Crumble recipe creates a sweet, buttery topping perfect for desserts like parfaits, ice cream, or yogurt. With a hint of cinnamon and vanilla, these golden crumbles add texture and flavor to your favorite treats.

Ingredients

Crumbles

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers (9 sheets of 4 crackers), roughly crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (granulated or light/dark brown)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • pinch kosher or fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the roughly crushed graham crackers, sugar, salt, and cinnamon if using. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract if desired, then stir thoroughly to coat all crumbs evenly.
  3. Spread and Bake: Evenly spread the crumb mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes, watching closely to ensure the crumbs turn a light golden brown and release a fragrant aroma without burning.
  4. Cool and Break Up: Remove from oven and allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature. As it cools, the crumbs will crisp up. Break the cooled mixture into smaller crumbles ideal for topping.
  5. Store Properly: Store the crumble in an airtight container. It keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or frozen for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before use on desserts.

Notes

  • For crunchier crumbles, bake toward the higher end of the time range but watch carefully to avoid burning.
  • You can use any type of sugar you prefer—white granulated, light brown, or dark brown—for subtly different flavors.
  • Vanilla extract and cinnamon are optional but add a lovely aroma and warm spice to the crumble.
  • Adjust the salt amount according to taste, but a pinch enhances the overall flavor.
  • To crush graham crackers quickly, place them in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy pan.
