Sis uses recipes similar to this both as a fruit crumble dessert and to top dessert breads (banana, pumpkin, etc.). In my opinion you can add this crumble to almost any dessert quick-bread and it instantly makes it better.
This recipe was clipped from the Wednesday, June 22, 2011 food section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and sent to me by Grandma Mo, who even though has been busy packing up her home for a move across town, still finds the time to clip recipes for me.
