Step 6

In another mixing bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.25 cups of light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.

Pour 1 cup of melted butter into the dry crumb mixture and use your fingers or a fork to mix until large crumbs form.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the batter in the baking dish.

Step 9

Bake the crumb cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
