Method

4 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Put the plums, prunes and granulated or caster sugar in a deep ovenproof dish (approx. 22 cm). Toss to coat in the sugar, then pat down gently to make a flattish, even surface.

  2. Step 2

    For the crisp, stir the flour, almonds, oats, 50g brown sugar and salt together in a bowl. Drizzle over the coconut oil or melted butter and mix well.

  3. Step 3

    Sprinkle the crisp mix, then the 1 tbsp brown sugar, evenly over the plums.

  4. Step 4

    Bake in the centre of the oven for 35 mins, until golden. Serve warm, with ice cream, if you like. Leftovers will keep well, covered, somewhere cool for up to 3 days.
