Damson Plum Crumble with Oats
Damson plum crumble with oats is a simple yet delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a comforting treat on a cold winter evening or as a dessert at a dinner party, it is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen damson plums pitted and halved
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the damson plums, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the plums are tender, about 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon (if using). Use your hands or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the cooked damson mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
