Ingredients (serves 8):

For the crust and crumble:

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
