Ingredients

crisp topping

  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup oats I used quick cooking type
  • ⅓ cup walnuts roughly chopped
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened

apple plum filling

  • 3-4 apples preferably tart
  • 350 gram fresh plums
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ tbsp corn starch

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven at 190 °C. Grease 6 oz ramekins.
  • Place all topping ingredients in a large bowl. Use your fingertips or pastry blender or a food processor to gently bring them together. I used a potato masher.
  • Peel, core & chop into 1 inch chunks apple and place in a large bowl. De-seed and chop plums into 1-inch chunk. Add corn starch & sugar. Toss them to coat fruits evenly.
  • Place the filling in the prepared dish, evenly spread the topping on top of it. Place the dish on a baking sheet to catch any dripping juices.
  • Bake in pre-heated oven for 35-45 mins. or until bubbly and the topping is brown and crispy. Remove from oven & cool on a wire rack for 15 mins. Serve warm with a scoop of ice-cream or whipped cream.

Notes

  1. adapted from here
  2. You can replace plums or apples with any fruit of your choice.
  3. If the plums are too tart, it is best to serve the crisp with ice-cream or whipped cream.
  4. You can replace whole wheat with all-purpose flour as in original recipe.
