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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch square or rectangular baking dish.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the plum mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
