Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs plums (pitted and sliced (about 5–6 cups))
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange juice
- ½ lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats (rolled oats)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ⅓ cup pecans (chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pinch kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons butter (melted)
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup shredded coconut (or finely chopped dark chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter or grease your 9×9-inch or oval baking dish.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss plums with brown sugar, lemon juice, orange juice, zest, cornstarch, salt, and optional spice. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
- Make the topping: In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in butter and combine until crumbly. Fold in coconut or chocolate, if using.
- Assemble and bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake 30–40 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown. If topping browns too fast, loosely cover with foil for the first 20 minutes, then uncover.
