Delicious Crumb Topping
My love for crumbles dates back to my youth. My Grandma usually baked yeast cakes with seasonal fruit and crumble on top. And I used to steal the chunkiest pieces of crumble when the cake was taken out from the stove. I need to confess that I also used to do it even prior to the cake was baked! And "the largest piece of crumble" is a crucial expression right here. When I prepare my crumbly mixture, I make sure I have coarse crumbs.
