Fruit Pie Crumb Topping
My mother always sprinkled on this wonderful crumb topping to dress up her two-crust fruit pies. The topping not only looks pretty, it provides a crisp contrast to the soft fruit filling. I used it to top pies for my daughter's wedding reception. 12 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 5 min.
