Crumble Topping

Crumble topping is a combination of only 3 simple ingredients: butter, flour, and sugar. It adds the perfect sweetness and crunch to any muffin, quick bread, or pie!

Prep Time: 5

Total Time: 5

Servings:

Ingredients

½ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar or brown sugar (I like to a do 3 TB each)
4-6 Tablespoons salted butter , slightly melted
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon , optional

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the flour and sugar. Add cinnamon, if desired. Slowly drizzle the butter into the bowl while stirring the crumbs with a fork. I like to start with 3-4 Tablespoons and add more as needed until the crumbs form. Do not over-mix (you do not want this to become like a dough).
Store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Evenly spread across muffins, quick breads, or pie.

Notes

Baking: This recipe is meant to go on top of muffins or pies before you bake them. However, if you'd like to bake just the crumble you can spread out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired crispness.
