streusels
Buttery pastry crumbs
Streusels is the plural of streusel, a crumbly topping made from butter, flour, and sugar, often with cinnamon or nuts added.
It originated in German baking, where the word means "something scattered or sprinkled." Streusel appears most commonly on coffee cakes, muffins, and fruit pies, adding a sweet, crunchy contrast to softer textures beneath.
The apple pie had a generous layer of streusel instead of a top crust.
