The dough may seem very crumbly – this is normal. If you’d like, you can use an electric mixer, but it isn’t necessary. Stir all of the ingredients for the crust and topping in a mixing bowl until it is well combined and a thick sticky dough forms. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 9” baking pan with parchment paper. Everything can go in the bowl together at the same time. There’s no need to separate the dry ingredients from the wet ingredients for the crumb mixture. The crust and topping are made from the exact same mixture so we get to multi-task and make them both at the same time.
