I've tried substituting flour with matza meal, or with matza meal mixed with ground almonds. It's alright but not great. The crumble is soft and fluffy, whereas it should be crunchy.

Any ideas how to make it crunchy?

Thanks in advance

(Sorry for the typo in the title, don't know how to change it)

Are you using margarine or oil? Maybe it needs baking a little longer?

Thanks Ella. I used margarine. I did bake it for a while, the crumbs were quite brown at the top.

Hmmm, the recipes I have seen have used oil and matza meal. Maybe that is the difference?

Butter usually works better to make things crunchy, if you can make it chalavi?

If you eat kitnyiot, could you try adding some rice flour or cornmeal?

I often make a fruit crumble for seder. It's weirdly popular (I hate hot fruit.) I mix matzo cake mealI don't know if you have that?with vegan kosher for Passover "butter", sugar and sometimes sliced, not ground, almonds. I tighten the fruit with KforP potato starch mixed first with the fruit juice. Then bake at 175 until the fruit is hot and bubbling through the crumble. (It is probably too late for many of you--I still have 7 hours before the holiday starts.)
