Equipment

  • 1 9x13 inch baking dish lightly greased
  • 1 mixing bowl large
  • 1 oven preheated to 350°F

Ingredients
  

Plum Filling

  • 6 cups plums pitted and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter chilled and cubed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash, pit, and slice the plums. Combine them in a large bowl with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Mix until the plums are well coated.
  • In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Spread the plum mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crisp topping over the plums, ensuring an even layer.
  • Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.

Serving

  • Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.

Storage

  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
