    Prune Berry Crumble

    Recipes, Sweets

    *This recipe was sponsored by California Prunes, but all opinions are our own.

    Growing up, prunes were synonymous with constipation. We ate them when we were backed up…and that was pretty much it. I can still remember that dark purple, thick juice in the back corner of my grandmother’s fridge. (Just me? LOL)

    But the truth is, prunes are more than just a remedy for constipation. They are actually one of my favorite dried fruits.  I loveee having them paired with nuts as an afternoon snack or incorporated into different sweet and savory recipes. Fun fact: in comparison to other dried fruits, prunes are lower in sugar. Because of this, they are digested and absorbed more slowly which helps with sustaining energy. They are also known to support bone health (here are some studies), and are packed with potassium, Vitamin K and magnesium. Prunes are rich in fiber and, as you already know, good for the gut. It is recommended to eat just 4-5 prunes a day to reap their full benefits. 

    Aside from the nutritional benefits, prunes also taste awesome. The sweet, rich flavors in California Prunes blend seamlessly with dark chocolate, warm spices, caramel and coffee and pair well with salty items like prosciutto, miso and feta or earthy flavors, like walnuts & winter squash. 

    Prunes are also my baking secret weapon, because they add a unique richness and creamy sweetness like no other. Speaking of baking, let’s get into today’s recipe, my Prune Berry Crumble. This crumble is moist and sweet, and is delicious paired with vanilla ice cream. Here’s how to make it!

    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
