Plum Crumble

This plum crumble is the perfect blend of tart plums and sweet crumble topping, creating a delightful contrast that will have you reaching for seconds (and maybe thirds). Here’s what you need to create this magical dessert:

Ingredients

6 cups of fresh plums, pitted and sliced
1 cup granulated sugar (because we all need a little sweetness in our lives)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (for that zesty kick)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (the spice of life!)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup brown sugar (the fancy sugar)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened (so we can spread the love)
Pinch of salt (just a little for flavor)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Get that oven all warmed up and ready for the goodness.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced plums with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Let them sit and mingle for about 10 minutes.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, softened butter, and salt. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to combine until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the plum mixture evenly in a baking dish, then sprinkle the crumble topping over the plums.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the topping is golden and the plums are bubbling with joy.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!

So there you have it, a plum crumble that will make your taste buds dance and your heart sing! Enjoy this heavenly dessert with friends, family, or perhaps all to yourself—no judgment here! Happy baking!
