What to do with leftover crumb topping? [closed] - Crop unrecognizable female with closed eyes biting tasty sweet cupcake with with strawberry jam filing and decorated with whipped cream and berries

After making an apple crostata, I was left with a lot of leftover crumb topping. The topping is delicious and I could eat it by itself ;) But since it includes raw flour, I'd rather find a more sophisticated and easy on my stomach solution. Do any of you have any creative ideas that involve using crumb topping without baking another pastry? :)

The ingredients of my topping are:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 stick cold unsalted butter

I probably have 1/3 left.

If you really don't want to bake anything else, you could bake the crumb on it's own. I'd be sure to put it on parchment or a silpat to avoid it sticking to the surface below. Bake it at 350F or so until it's browned. Once it's baked, it should last a while as long as it's stored in an airtight container. It would probably be good as an ice cream topping?

    Answer 2

    That is a pretty generic crumb topping.

    You could use it for any purpose: on top of a coffee cake, muffin, or whatever else. You could make cobblers or similar in small ramekins to use up the small quantity that you have.

    It should also freeze very well, for next time you do make crostada or something similar.
