Matzo Fruit Crumble

This Passover dessert couldn’t be easier. Inspired from a classic fruit crumble, instead of using flour, the topping is made with melted butter, matzo meal and almond.

The fruit is lightly sweet and topping is perfectly buttery and and crisp. Have fun with the fruit filling, though I love berries and the addition of citrus zest is an absolute must.

A Few Tips for any Crumble of Crisp

  • Butter is your friend here and work it well into the crumble mixture.
  • Have fun with different fruits such as strawberries, blueberries or even apples and pears. Just make sure they are all roughly the same size.
  • If the top begins to get to browned while baking, tent with a layer of foil for the last few minutes.
