Recipe should read "softened" butter instead of melted butter. This being for those who have never made a "streusel" type dessert, otherwise they'll end up with a batter type topping and not crumbly. Otherwise, adjusted it according to the reviews and it turned out pretty good.<br/>Ate it with vanilla bean ice cream and a little caramel sauce on it.

This review is for the topping only, as I have yet to make the filling. This is my go to topping for any kind of crisp. In my opinion, it is perfect! I do occasionally add some nuts (usually chopped pecans) and if I have a filling I think will be on the soupy side I increase the flour to 1/2 cup. Other than that I follow the recipe exactly and it always comes out great!
