Servings: 1 recipe, enough to cover a standard 9" pie or crumble
Calories: 2662kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup light brown or dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 stick (1/2 cup; 1/4 pound) cold, unsalted butter, diced
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix.
- Add the diced, cold butter. Work the butter into the sugar-flour mixture with your fingers until the texture resembles coarse, damp sand. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Top your pie, crisp, or crumble of choice with the streusel topping. This recipe is enough for one generously-topped 9" or 10" pie. PRO TIP: Most streusel or crumb topping pies, crisps, and crumbles are baked at around 400°F. I suggest this excellent, easy apple crisp recipe.
