Pistachio-Plum Crisp

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Topping

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, ground cardamom, kosher salt, and finely chopped pistachios. Add room temperature unsalted butter, and work the mixture with your fingers until soft and slightly sticky.

2. Prepare Fruit Mixture

In a 3-quart baking dish, toss together pitted and sliced plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, fresh lemon juice, and rose water if using. Ensure the fruit is well-coated with the mixture.

3. Assemble and Bake

Scatter the crumbly topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining pistachios. Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

4. Cool Before Serving

Allow the Pistachio-Plum Crisp to cool slightly before serving, to let the flavors meld together and reach a safe temperature for eating.
