3/4 cup of all-purpose flour
1 cup of brown sugar
2 tsp. of cinnamon
1/4 tsp. of salt
Directions:  In a food processor or by hand, mix brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. If mixing by hand, just use your fingertips or the back of a fork. If you are using a food processor just pulsate everything until you get a crumb mixture. For bigger clumps, form little balls with your hand. Add streusel topping mixture to the top of your cake gently pressing everything down. Bake as directed below.
