1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cardamom or cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoon unsalted butter, torn/chopped into coarse pieces, at room temperature
1 cup shelled pistachios or other nuts (walnuts, almonds and/or pecans), finely chopped
4 pounds red plums, black plums or apricots, pitted and sliced 1-inch thick
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon rose water, optional

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, cardamom and salt in a medium bowl. Work the butter into the dry ingredients using your hands until completely incorporated (it will be soft and slightly sticky). Stir in 3/4 cup pistachios and set aside.
For the filling: Toss the plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and rose water, if using, together in a 3-quart baking dish. Scatter the topping over the plums, then scatter the remaining 1/4 cup chopped pistachios on top.
Bake until the fruit bubbles and the crumble is golden brown and crisped, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool slightly before eating.
