Ingredients

• 4 large Granny Smith apples
• 1 cup Prunes
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 cup Rolled oats

• 0.333 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.333 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add prunes, lemon juice, granulated sugar, flour, and cinnamon to the bowl with the apples. Toss everything together until the fruit is evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the apple-prune mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In another bowl, make the topping by combining rolled oats, chopped hazelnuts, brown sugar, flour, and salt.

Step 6

Cut the cold cubed butter into the topping mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the hazelnut topping evenly over the apple-prune mixture in the baking dish.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as-is or pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
