For an enhanced flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before chopping. Be careful not to burn them! If you don't have dried apples, you can substitute with another dried fruit like cranberries or raisins. The streusel topping can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular butter.
