Apricot Crumble Stew

Ingredients

Apricots

4 cups, pitted and sliced

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Cornstarch

2 tablespoons

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Brown sugar

1/2 cup, packed

Old-fashioned oats

1 cup

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, melted

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix gently to coat the apricots evenly.
3. Transfer the apricot mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, oats, and melted butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apricot filling in the baking dish.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are bubbling around the edges.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
