Streusel for Pies
★★★★★
PREP TIME
25 minutes
MAKES
about 2 cups (enough to top one 9-inch pie)
Ingredients
1/2 cup
(40 grams) old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup
(60 grams) all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
whole-wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons
(57 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir the oats, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to combine. Cut the butter into tablespoon portions and drop them into the bowl. Mix with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture comes together to form large clumps.
- To use, crumble the streusel over the top of a pie that requires baking and bake as the recipe instructs. If the topping is browning too quickly, tent it with foil for the remainder of the bake time.
