Plum Crisp

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x9 in square pan or the equivalent size with a non-stick baking release. Set aside.

Step 2

The amount of flour to use depends upon how loose you like the plums. Use more if you like a tighter filling.

Step 3

Cut the plums in half along their equator. Twist them in opposite directions to separate. Remove the pit. It is easy to do by going around the pit with a serrated spoon and scooping it out. Prepare all of the plums.

Step 4

Turn the plums, skin side up and slice them about 1/4 inch thick. Put them in a large bowl. Add the vanilla.

Step 5

Combine the dry ingredients and stir the into the plums. Let the sit while you prepare the crisp, stirring once in a while.

Step 6

Place all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed to bring together. Raise the speed to medium to medium high and mix until crumbs form.

Step 7

Stir the plums well and pour them into the prepared dish. Top with the crisp, spreading it evenly over the plums.

Step 8

Place the dish on a parchment line rimmed sheet pan and place in the oven for 35 to 45 minutes until the plums are soft, the crisp is a medium golden brown and the juices are bubbling out.

Step 9

Serve warm.
