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
- 0 vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Wash and pit the plums. Slice them into wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In another mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 5
Pour the melted butter into the oat mixture and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Step 6
Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the plums in the baking dish.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plum mixture is bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to thicken.
Step 9
Serve warm on its own or topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
