Notes
*For gluten-free baking flour blends, we like Bob’s Red Mill One-to-One Gluten-Free Baking Flour or King Arthur Measure-for-Measure Gluten-Free Flour. You can also use the same amount of regular all-purpose flour if you don’t need this recipe to be gluten-free
** For dairy-free and vegan, use coconut oil or vegan butter in the crumb topping
