Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups (sliced) ripe plums
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cups rolled oats
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.5 cups (cold, cubed) unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 optionally, for serving vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square or rectangular baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced plums, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the plums are evenly coated, then transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
In another bowl, prepare the topping by combining rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flour, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the topping mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two forks, or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the plum mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plums are bubbling around the edges.
Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
