Flapjack Based Millionaire's Shortbread

Usually prepared for a festive occasion such as Diwali, Mysore Pak is a traditional Indian sweet. Antony Amourdoux has created a twist on this traditional Indian classic adding a pistachio and cardamom shortbread base with the topping texture feeling&nbsp;deliciously dense and&nbsp;buttery fudge-like in consistency that just melts in the mouth.&nbsp;
YUM Antony says "Neighbours would shower us with boxes of this beautiful treat. I miss it so I made my own home-made version of it a crisp Pistachio with a Malt MysorePak. Go on be brave and give it a TRY" &nbsp;

How can you improve a brownie? Challenge accepted.

One of our favourite crumble flavour combinations is Apple and Blackberry which is why we've paired the two to create these yummy crumble slices.
