Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp Salted butter
  • 1/2 cup Light brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped

Instructions

  1. Combine Base: In a small bowl, combine the salted butter, light brown sugar, and all-purpose flour.
  2. Mix until Crumbly: Use a pastry fork or a pastry blender to work the butter into the sugar and flour until the mixture reaches a crumbly consistency.
  3. Add Nuts: Gently stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly distributed.
  4. Apply: Sprinkle the mixture evenly over your pie filling.
  5. Bake: Follow the baking instructions for the specific pie recipe you are using (typically at 350°F until the pie is set).

Notes

Tammy's Tips: To get the best "crumb," make sure your butter is slightly chilled so it stays in little pieces rather than melting into the sugar while you mix!
