'crumbly' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'sandwich without filling worth getting unwrapped?' is the wordplay.
'without filling' means to remove the middle letters.
'worth' becomes 'or' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'unwrapped?' means to look at the middle letters (I've seen 'unwrapping' mean this (letters which 'wrap' the word are removed)).
'sandwich' with its middle removed is 'sh'.
The central letter of 'getting' is 't'.
'sh'+'or'+'t'='SHORT'
