⭐ Pro Tips

  • Cold Butter = Crumble Magic ❄️ Never melt it, or the topping won’t crisp.
  • Apple Variety: Use a mix like Granny Smith + Honeycrisp for the best depth of flavor.
  • Add Crunch: Stir chopped pecans or walnuts into the topping for extra texture.
  • Freezer-Friendly: Freeze before or after baking – both ways work!
