This seems to be the same recipe I use to make all the time, from a BH&G cookbook circa 1990, thought I had lost it forever! I used to add chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble mix sometimes, and drizzled it all with a powdered sugar/vanilla/cream glaze for a sugar explosion. I will be making this tomorrow morning! Thanks for posting it!
