Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar, divided
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
• 1 pinch plus 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided

1. To make the topping, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon butter, a pinch of cinnamon and salt in a small bowl; mix together with your fingers. Pinch together until crumbs form.
