Notes

For the best crumble texture, keep the butter cold while cutting it into the dry ingredients until you see pea-size and larger clumps. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; rewarm in a 350F oven until hot. Freezing is yes (freeze baked portions up to 2 months, then reheat at 350F). For a lighter option, use low-fat butter and reduce the brown sugar slightly without changing the bake time.
