Fruit crumbles are warm and comforting. Look for Cortlands, Macouns, or any apple variety suitable for baking. Here, they’re mixed with plums and covered with an oatmeal topping.
TOPPING
In a large bowl combine the oats, flour, sugar, butter, and salt. With your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms pea-size lumps.
2. Refrigerate until ready to use.
FILLING
Set oven at 375 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
2. In a bowl, combine apples, plums, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Mix thoroughly.
3. Top the fruit with the oatmeal mixture. Bake the crumble for 50 minutes or until the top is brown and the mixture is bubbling at the edges. Serve with vanilla frozen yogurt or ice cream. Catherine Smart
