BEST OATMEAL TOPPINGS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the butter.
• Cut butter into mixture with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
• Spread crumbs over prepared fruit mixture of your favorite fruit pie.
• Do NOT add top crust.
• Bake as directed in your fruit pie recipe.
• If crumbs become too dark while baking, cover loosely with foil, but remove foil the last few minutes of bakings so the topping will crisp.
• Note: when using this topping there is no need to dot the fruit with butter, if your recipe calls for that.
