This is fantastic! I've been making my mom's recipe for years and on a whim tried this - am I glad I did. The orange is wonderfully subtle and the crumb topping is suberb! We had it for dessert w/ice cream, I had it w/yogurt for breakfast the next day, then for a mid-morning snack - I literally ate it till it was gone! I'm making 2 right now to share at work tomorrow!
