Apple crumble with...

Does this crumble have either clove or cinnamon ?

I've sometimes pushed the boat out and had all three (ice cream has to be cornish maid or a creamy vanilla.)

One place I used to frequent (pre-covid) sometimes put apple sorbet on top of a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream ...

The crumble has cinnamon.
 
Ice cream
Custard
Ice cream

Might depend on how well made the options are likely to be. Also, if it's the depths of winter (which I suppose is technically crumble season), then I might be more likely to be swayed by a good custard. But I like hot/cold combinations. And custard with crumble has something of the school dinner about it that's hard to shake off.

Oh, and of course it would have to be vanilla ice cream, or some trendy contemporary variant that seemed like a good idea.

Never cream though. Some people on this thread very, very wrong.

Okay, going to stop you right there to correct this misapprehension about there being a specific crumble season. Every season is crumble season. :rolleyes: Obviously.

I'm thinking back to the days of cardboard boxes of cooking apples picked in the autumn, each carefully wrapped in newspaper, at my grandmother's house. Probably Christmas/Easter holidays. Of course you can have crumble whenever you want, but that was undoubtedly the best crumble.
 
With your record on seagulls and Marmite, I am unsurprised that you hold this incorrect view.
You probably slather it with marmite you wrong 'un. Crumble doesn't need any additions - it's perfect by itself. Maybe you're eating substandard crumble so have no choice but to slather it with other stuff. :(
