    • Put it back in the fridge while preparing the filling.

    MAKE THE TOPPINGS:

    • Using a food processor, add the flour, sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cubed butter. Pulse until the butter creates fine crumbs. Transfer into a medium-size bowl and add the oats and almonds. Stir to combine
    • Using the largest hole of the grater box, Butter must be kept whole and at least in the freeze for 30 minutes. Grate using the large hole. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to fully combine using your clean fingers.
