Prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of softened butter, 1/3 cup of flour, 4 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix with your hands until a crumble mixture forms. Place the bowl in the fridge to chill.

Prepare the cinnamon swirl. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 3 tablespoons of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

Make the batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Add the flour and salt, and whisk until no lumps remain. Drizzle in 2 tablespoons of melted butter and mix until the batter is smooth and thin.
