Ingredients

1/4 cup raw pistachios
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/4 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 5 –8 minutes. Let cool, then finely grind in a spice mill, or finely chop with a knife.
Mix pistachios, flour, oats, brown sugar, lemon zest, poppy seeds, cardamom, and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, work in butter until no dry spots remain and crumble holds together when squeezed. Chill while you make the pie filling.
