This recipe was originally developed as the crunch component for a dessert called The Fat El Vez. The dessert is a Peanut Butter and Bacon Mousse with Tequila Bananas and this crumble. You can also make the crumble with melted/brown butter. Also, feel free to adjust the spices up or down depending on preference.
