I love this for apple crisp but I use smart balance instead of the oil

LOVED this! This will be a staple in my pantry for a quick & easy dessert. I took chunky cinnamon applesauce from Trader Joe's, added more cinnamon & topped with this crumble & baked in individual ramekins. Going to try next using frozen wild blueberries, yum!

I used this topping with the Blueberry Crumble and it was terrific. While on vacation I tried this with several friends and they thoroughly enjoyed it!! Great to keep in the freezer & use for a quick dessert.
