Three Simple Ingredients to Make Crumble Topping

Three basic ingredients make up the base recipe. For even more flavor, feel free to add a few more spices, such as pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon. Add oats to make it more of a streusel topping, or even some chopped pecans for an added crunch.

Butter: Use salted butter and use the microwave to melt it.
Flour: All-purpose flour is excellent.

Sugar: Use half sugar and half brown sugar or granulated sugar.

Ingredients

• Half a cup of all-purpose flour
• ⅓ cup brown sugar or granulated sugar
• Four to six tablespoons of salted butter, melted a little
• Optional: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions to Make Crumble Topping

• Mix the sugar and flour together in a medium bowl. You can add cinnamon if you want. Using a fork to stir the crumbs, slowly pour the butter into the bowl. Until the crumbs form, start with three to four tablespoons and add more as necessary. Avoid overmixing; you don't want this to turn into dough.
•  Until you're ready to use it, keep it in the refrigerator. Spread evenly over pie, muffins, or quick breads.

Note: This recipe is intended to be spread over pies or muffins prior to baking. On the other hand, if you want to bake just the crumble, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake it for 10 minutes at 350 degrees, or until it is as crisp as you like.

How to Make Crumble Topping?

• In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and melted butter. If using, sprinkle with cinnamon. Next, mix with a spoon until crumbs begin to form (do not mix until smooth). Refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
• Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the breads, pies, or muffins. Next, follow the oven's instructions for baking.
