Ingredients

• 6 large ripe plums
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar
• 0.75 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Wash and pit the plums, then slice them into thin wedges. Place the plum slices in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the plums. Toss gently to coat, then transfer the plums to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.

Step 4

In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the plums, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the plums are bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
