Bake according to your recipe's instructions, and watch as the crumb topping transforms into a golden-brown, irresistibly delicious crown.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumb mixture.
If you don't have a pastry blender, using your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour and sugar works just as well. Be sure to work quickly to keep the butter cold.
For a nuttier flavor, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, to the crumb mixture.
Store leftover crumb topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
