Ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces remaining.
Prepare your brownie batter according to your favorite recipe or box mix, and pour it into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the brownie batter.
Bake the brownies according to your recipe's instructions. The crumble will become golden and crisp during baking.
Tips
For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble mixture.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
This crumble topping can also be used on muffins, coffee cake, or fruit crisps.
