Ingredients

1/2 cup Brown Sugar
2/3 cup All-Purpose Flour (White Lily recommended)
4 Tbsp Salted Butter, sliced thin
1 cup Old-Fashioned Oats
3/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 cup Finely Chopped Pecans

Instructions

Combine Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and all-purpose flour.
Cut in Butter: Add the thinly sliced salted butter. Using a blending fork (or a regular fork), work the butter into the flour and sugar mixture until it becomes crumbly and the butter is evenly distributed.
Add Texture: Stir in the old-fashioned oats, ground cinnamon, and the finely chopped pecans.
Mix: Mix everything thoroughly until the oats and nuts are well-coated with the buttery sugar mixture.
Bake: Spread the crumble evenly over your prepared fruit filling and bake according to the specific instructions for the dessert you are making (typically 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes).

Notes

Tammy’s Tips

This is my "go-to" topping for almost any fruit bake! The pecans really add a depth of flavor, but if you have a nut allergy, you can leave them out and add an extra 1/4 cup of oats for crunch. The real trick to a good crumble is using cold butter and a blending fork,you want distinct little crumbs, not a smooth paste. Keep this recipe handy whenever you have extra peaches, apples, or berries that need a little something special on top!
