Oatmeal Crumb Topping for Pies image

Especially good on apple or peach pies. My original recipe says it make enough for 2 8-inch pies but a lot of times I use the whole thing on one 10-inch.

Time 10m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup oatmeal (any type but instant)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the butter.
  • Cut butter into mixture with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
  • Spread crumbs over prepared fruit mixture of your favorite fruit pie.
  • Do NOT add top crust.
  • Bake as directed in your fruit pie recipe.
  • If crumbs become too dark while baking, cover loosely with foil, but remove foil the last few minutes of bakings so the topping will crisp.
  • Note: when using this topping there is no need to dot the fruit with butter, if your recipe calls for that.
