This streusel combines flour, brown sugar, and butter with sliced almonds for a crunchy, nutty topping. Scatter it over coffee cake, muffins, or fruit pie before baking for a crisp, golden finish that adds texture and sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 3/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

  2. Add the cold cubed butter and almond extract. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture forms coarse, pea-sized crumbs.

  3. Stir in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the crumb mixture.

  4. Use immediately as a topping for cakes, muffins, or pies, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days until ready to use.
