Wouldn't really recommend recipe UNLESS you bake it otherwise, its just dough crumbles. I would also add more cinnamon-sugar using a white Sugar cinnamon mixture. Wasn't a bad recipe but it wasn't all that great either.

A great recipe for an all purpose topping but 1/2 CUP ground cinnamon??? How about 1/2 tsp in list of ingredients?

I make this all of the time for my desserts. It's really easy, and it's also delicious and decorative, too! When I bring it to holiday parties, it's that little extra touch that outdoes the other desserts.
