[Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free] Apple Plum Pistachio Crumble
I love a good crumble or crisp - in this case I had too many plums and didn’t know what to do with them. This was born! I wanted the mixed texture of soft cooked plums and apples with a tart bite. I was actually out of hazelnuts, which is what I wanted to use so I tried pistachios and I love it! Let me know what you think! Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free - Apple Plum Pistachio Crumble with Cardamom
