Summer Peach and Plum Crumble

Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1/2 cup, cold and cubed

Salt

1/4 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon

Brown sugar

1/2 cup

Rolled oats

1 cup

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Lemon juice

1 tablespoon

Granulated sugar

1/2 cup

Plums

2 cups, sliced

Peaches

2 cups, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peaches, sliced plums, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the fruit evenly. Set aside to let the fruit release its juices.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
4. Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This is your crumble topping.
5. Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit, ensuring it is completely covered.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble topping is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The dessert will thicken as it cools.
9. Serve the crumble warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a truly decadent experience.
