Notes
For the crumble topping: The more you rub the ingredients together, the darker the topping will become as the butter takes on the color of the sugar and cinnamon, and it will stick together quite well in large clumps. Working it together till it reaches this stage will deliver those large crumbly chunks that are so delicious. The less time you mix together, the less crumbly it will be and the smaller your chunks will be. In my book, large crumble chunks = better :)
