Easy Crumb (Streusel) Toppings

Need a quick crumb topping to sprinkle over top berry or fruit pie, cobbler, or another dish? Try any of these combinations for crumb or streusel toppings!

Sprinkle on top of recipe and bake as per recipe — OR — spread alone on a cookie sheet and bake just until browned, cool, and use as topping to sprinkle on top of things like ice cream, custard, or puddings.  (I like to line with parchment paper for ease of removing and fold the paper in half to pour it into a container after baking and cooling with less muss and fuss).

Using a fork, toss until crumbly, any of the following combinations:

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
