Why does my crisp topping melt?

Chef's answer
The most common cause for a melted crumb topping is too much butter. Cold or melted, it doesn't take much butter to turn the flour and sugar into crumbs. Use around 5 tablespoons of butter for every 1 cup combined dry ingredients, such as flour and sugar, to create crunchy crumbs..
