Apple crumble - freeze it cooked or frozen?

Hi all
Have made two crumbles tonight. Cooked (and eaten although not on my own
) one and want to freeze the other but should I freeze it as is (cooked apples raw crumble) or cook it and freeze it for the best result ?

I normally cook it, wait for it to cool down then freeze it.

I'd freeze it as it is, then you can cook it and eat it freshly cooked, rather than "warmed up"

Lol - no wiser :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Think I may well freeze as is in the hope that the top will be nice a crunchy when cooked. Thanks for the replies xx0 -
I would cook it and then freeze it. I think if you put it in the freezer as it is, the topping may look a bit unappetizing when you take it out. Try both methods if you want to...but the next time on two smaller crumbles - to see what gives you the best result.
I have just taken out a crumble frozen during the week and it is fine!0 -

What I usually do is to freeze the prepared fruit, and keep the crumble in the fridge. I can then knock up a fresh fruit crumble in a matter of minutes :rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
I keep a bag of 'crumble' in the freezer so I can make a speedy crumble when something else is going into the oven.
I'm afraid I haven't frozen a made up crumble so can't comment on the original question.0 -
I always freeze them uncooked and cook them from frozen. The fruit still has 'bite' that way rather than cooking it twice.0
