This was delicious. Next time I think I’ll use a slightly smaller pan then 9 x13, as it didn’t fill it evenly. Otherwise, it was great. I topped it with some sliced almonds before baking (along with the streusel), and after with a little powdered sugar glaze. 100% a keeper!
Hi Katie,
So glad you enjoyed it!

This is proofing in oven and looks/smells great. Can’t wait! However, after all is done (except final bake) I see the verbiage says “brown sugar and cinnamon topping”. The directios for the topping read only “sugar”. I missed using brown sugar for the crumble which I would have preferred. Excited, anyway!
Hi Kristi,
I will update that on the recipe card, hope you enjoy it!
