Instructions

1. Line a standard cupcake pan with 9 paper liners and preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. Crust: Mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and stir until combined. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into each liner and refrigerate.
3. Topping: In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Refrigerate until needed.
