# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The way the tart raspberry juice bubbles up through that nutty, buttery topping creates this incredible sweet-salty crunch party in your mouth
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes of active prep but tastes like something from a fancy pastry case
  • You can easily swap the berries or nuts based on whatever's in your freezer or pantry
02 -
  • The first time I made this, I dumped all the crumble topping in one giant clump instead of sprinkling it, and ended up with an uncooked floury butter blob in the center that I had to secretly remove before serving
  • If your raspberries are super juicy, you might see some fruit bubbling up through the topping, and that's actually the best part, so don't panic
03 -
  • If using frozen raspberries, don't thaw them first, and consider adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time since they release more moisture
  • Toasting the pistachios in a dry pan for 3-4 minutes before chopping brings out this incredible nutty flavor that transforms the whole dessert
