This is easy to make but nobody will be able to tell by looking at it...it's beautiful. And it tastes good too! You can try other variations by changing the jam and/or the nuts. Blueberry, blackberry and strawberry jams are all good. Warm the jam slightly and it will spread easier. I mix the crumb mixture and the batter in a food processor instead of using a pastry blender....simple!
