This was really good and not too sweet. It reminded me of something my Pennsylvania Dutch Grandmother would have made. I made the cinnamon crumbs out of a little softened butter, cinnamon, sugar, and rolled oats. Flour could be used instead of the oats. Just use enough so that the mixture is crumbly. Made for PAC Spring 2012.
