What is the difference between crumb and crumble?

Just the name. Crumble topping and Crumb topping are essentially the same thing: a mixture of butter, sugar, and flour.

Should the streusel topping be added before or after baking?

You add streusel topping before baking your pies, cakes, or muffins. It bakes along with whatever you are making.

Why is my streusel topping not crumbly?

If your crumb topping isn't crumbly you need to add a little more butter. Chances are you mis-measured the flour, but it is an easy fix. Start with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and mix that in, adding more if necessary. Don't add too much butter, though, as it will melt as it's baked. Alternately if your crumb is too wet you can add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is achieved.

Why does my streusel sink?

Streusel topping will sink if the batter you are adding it on top of is too thin. It can also melt into the batter if there is much butter content

Why is it called a streusel?

Streusel is a German word, and the translation is as a verb to be sprinkled or scattered. Streusel topping is often sprinkled on top of baked goods, hence the name.
