Things You'll Need:
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 & 1/2 TBSP chilled butter cut into pieces
-
Step 1
Step one: spoon the all purpose flour into a dry 1/3 cup measuring cup and level off with a knife.
-
Step 2
Step two: combine the 1/3 cup of flour with the 1/3 cup packed brown sugar and the 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon in a medium size mixing bowl.
-
Step 3
Step three: take the 2 & 1/2 TBSP of chilled butter that's been cut into pieces and add to ingredients in the mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture using either a pastry blender. If you don't have a pastry blender you can use 2 knives to cut the butter into the mixture or a fork. Keep cutting butter into the mixture until the texture is mixed but still on the coarse side.
-
Step 4
Once this is completed you can put the mixture in the refrigerator until the pie or coffee cake is ready for the oven.
-
Step 5
The next step is to sprinkle the mixture over your apple pie or coffee cake (or bundt cake) and then bake as you would for the pie or cake.
