In a medium bowl combine 6 Tablespoons sugar, 6 Tablespoons flour, 1/4 cup rolled olds, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.  Using your fingers, work 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter into the flour mixture until crumbly.  Transfer the topping into the freezer to let chill for 30 minutes.
