# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - In a medium bowl, combine 5 tablespoons flour, 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 1/2 cups brown sugar. Stir in melted butter until evenly incorporated. Set aside.

08 - Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan.
