APRICOT AND RASPBERRY CRUMBLE WITH PISTACHIOS & HONEY RICOTTA

Recipe

This recipe makes a simple, summery crumble and is a great way to use up overripe stone fruit. The buttery pistachio and oat crumble topping really couldn’t be easier to make. Use gluten-free oats and flour in the crumble if you want to make this gluten free.
