Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5.
Stir in the almonds.
6.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple mixture.

Chef's Tips

For a more intense cardamom flavor, use freshly ground cardamom pods.

You can substitute the almonds with other nuts like pistachios or cashews for a different flavor profile.

If the topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the baking dish loosely with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the topping.

A dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream complements the warm crumble perfectly.
