Swedish Crumble Pie (Smulpaj)

What tastes better than a crumble pie in the summer? I love this Swedish crumble pie because it is easy to make and tastes juicy and crunchy at the same time. This pie can be made with any fruit or berry, served warm or cold and tastes best with vanilla sauce, ice cream or whipped cream.
