Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture.

Step 3

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Be careful not to overmix; you want small lumps of butter to remain for the best texture.

Step 4

Use immediately by sprinkling evenly over prepared fruit in a baking dish. Press down lightly if desired to help it adhere.

Step 5

Bake the crisp topping as directed in your fruit crisp recipe, usually at 350°F (175°C) for 30–40 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
