Tips:

  • Choose ripe plums: The best plums for a crisp are ripe but still firm. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
  • Use a variety of plums: Using a variety of plums will give your crisp a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of sweet and tart plums.
  • Don't overwork the topping: The topping for a crisp should be crumbly, not doughy. Overworking the topping will make it tough.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the crisp is cooked through.
  • Serve the crisp warm or at room temperature: A crisp is best served warm or at room temperature. It can also be served cold, but it will not be as crispy.
