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.
