Preparation

  2. Gently fold in the Greek yogurt until well incorporated.
Layering and baking

  2. Sprinkle the crumble mixture over this layer before adding the remaining batter.
  3. Top with the remainder of the crumble mixture evenly distributed across the surface.
  4. Bake for 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cooling and serving

Notes

Tips: Consider adding nutmeg or chopped nuts to the crumble. Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for uniform batter. Lemon zest can add brightness.
