Ingredients
  

For the Topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.
  • 1 cup Thick Rolled Oats Quick oats can be a last-minute substitution.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Light brown sugar can replace dark if needed.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt Kosher salt can be used as an alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Nutmeg can be added for extra warmth.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cardamom Can be omitted if unavailable.
  • 1/2 cup Cold Butter Substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Pecans Sunflower seeds can replace them for nut-free needs.
For the Plum Filling
  • 4 cups Plums (sliced) Ripe but firm plums yield the best results.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Can be adjusted based on sweetness preference.
  • 1 medium Lemon (zested and juiced) Lime can serve as a substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Tapioca Flour Can be replaced with cornstarch if necessary.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • 9-10 inch skillet or baking dish

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-10 inch skillet or baking dish by generously buttering it.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, thick rolled oats, brown sugar, fine sea salt, cinnamon, and cardamom. Work in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
  3. Toss sliced plums with lemon juice and zest, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for 10 minutes, then stir in tapioca flour to thicken.
  4. Spread the plum filling evenly into your buttered dish and crumble the chilled topping over the plums.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  6. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate the topping before baking for a flaky texture. If the topping browns too quickly, cover lightly with foil. Let the crisp rest for at least 30 minutes after baking for cleaner serving.
