In a small bowl, combine sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the crumb topping. Add cold butter and mix until crumbly; chill in the freezer.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix egg, sour cream, melted butter, and brown sugar before folding into dry ingredients.
