Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups ripe plums
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Wash and pit the plums. Slice them into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice to the plums. Toss until the plums are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the plums in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum mixture is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to thicken.
Serve warm on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
