Streusel for Pies
This is a great all-purpose streusel recipe for baking on top of pies. It makes large clumps that bake up slightly crisp on the outside, then soft in the middle. You can add other ingredients to your streusel to flavor it—sometimes I add a splash of vanilla or almond extract, and I often throw in additional spices like cloves, nutmeg, or ginger.
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
Directions:
- 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.
