Ingredients
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 4-5 Tablespoons unsalted butter slightly melted
- ¼ teaspoon salt omit if using salted butter
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Additions: chopped pecans, walnuts and/or oats 1/2 cup to 1 cup
Instructions
Crumble Topping
- Melt butter, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugars and cinnamon.
- Slowly pour the melted butter in as you stir the mixture with a fork. Start with 3-4 Tablespoons and add more until it looks like crumbles, without mixing too much, as overworking it will make it like a dough. Add in chopped pecans, walnuts or oats for a bit of crunchiness if desired (1/2 cup to 1 cup of each or a combination)
- Evenly spread the crumble mixture over the pie filling, cake or muffins.
- Bake in the oven according to the recipe you are using.
- This recipe typically makes enough crumble topping to cover the surface of one standard 9-inch pie, cake or 12 muffins generously. Feel free to adjust the quantities based on your needs.
Notes
Additions:
- Add 1 cup roughly chopped roasted pecans or walnuts to your crumble.
- Add 1/2 cup oats to your crumble
