PLUM GRAHAM CRACKER CRUMBLE
As plums bake, their tartness mellows and their juices jelly - just a couple reasons why they do so well in pies, cobblers and this crumble, which is essentially an upside-down graham cracker-crusted pie. If you don't have graham crackers on hand, vanilla wafers will work nicely too, but you'll need to cook a little longer. Be sure to press the graham crackers into a single layer instead of scattering clumps of it over the plums; doing so creates a sturdy but delicate topping that won't drown in a sea of plum juice. Keep this plum crumble simple, or add extra spices like ground ginger, cinnamon or nutmeg.

PLUM AND FIG CRUMBLE WITH QUINOA-OAT TOPPING
At a farmers' market, seek out sweet plums, ripe but firm, for this dazzling crumble. I also like a reddish, pink-fleshed hybrid called a plumcot, which is an apricot-plum hybrid. Plums are high in antioxidants called phenols, a very good source of vitamin C and, to a lesser extent, of vitamin A, riboflavin and potassium.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together the plums, figs, rose water, cinnamon and brandy or wine. Cover and let sit for one to two hours, in or out of the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a two-quart baking dish. Whisk the arrowroot into the juice, and scrape the fruit and all of the juice into the baking dish. Set the baking dish on a baking sheet for easier handling, and place in the oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until the fruit is bubbling and the liquid syrupy. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool if desired.
- About 30 minutes before serving, spread the crumble topping over the plum mixture in an even layer. Bake 20 minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is nicely browned. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
CRUMBLE - RASPBERRY PLUM
Steps:
- Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the flour, and the orange juice and toss well. Add the raspberries and toss lightly. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish. For the topping, place the remaining 1 cup of flour, the remaining 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the oats, and work it with your hands until it's in large crumbles. Add 1/2 cup of the almonds and mix well. Spread the topping evenly over the plums, making sure the fruit is covered. Sprinkle with some extra almonds. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
PLUM CRUMBLE
Steps:
- Position a rack in the center of your oven, and preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together the seasoning for the plums: the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and crystallized ginger. Add the plums, and gently stir to coat. Arrange the plums skin side up in an ungreased deep 9-inch pie plate. In another medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the topping: the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to blend well. Add the egg. Using your hands, mix thoroughly, squeezing and tossing and pinching handfuls of the mixture, to produce moist little particles. Sprinkle evenly over the plums. Spoon the butter evenly over the topping, and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is browned and the plums yield easily when pricked with toothpick. Cool. Serve crumble warm or at room temperature, with crème fraîche, thick yogurt, or unsweetened whipped cream.
Tips:
- Choose the right plums: Use ripe, in-season plums that are sweet and flavorful. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
- Prepare the plums properly: Wash and dry the plums before using them. If you are using a variety of plums, cut them into similar-sized pieces so that they cook evenly.
- Use a variety of spices: Add a variety of spices to the crumble topping to give it flavor. Common spices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Don't overcook the crumble: The crumble should be cooked until the topping is golden brown and the plums are bubbling. Overcooking will make the crumble dry and tough.
- Let the crumble cool before serving: Allow the crumble to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will help the crumble set and make it easier to cut.
Conclusion:
Plum crumble is a classic dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With its sweet and tart filling and crispy crumble topping, it is the perfect comfort food for any occasion. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy dessert or a special treat to serve guests, plum crumble is sure to please.
