1⁄3 cup packed brown sugar (75 mL)

You will need three 10 oz (300 mL) ramekins or custard cups, greased
Topping: In a small bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, pecans and cinnamon. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Set aside.

That is so awesome! Now that my daughter has moved out, it's just me. Which means the normal baking batches aren't going to cut it if I want to stay in my current jean size.
