Step 1: Bottom Dough

Ingredients:

  • 12 Pitted plums*

  • 1 stick Softened unsalted butter

  • ¾ cup Sugar

  • 3 Eggs

  • 1 ½ cups Flour

  • 2 level teaspoons Baking Powder

  • Pinch of Salt

  • 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.

  • Mix all ingredients well.

  • Spread mixture into bottom of 8-9’’ buttered springform.

  • Pre-cut plums in half and remove pits, place plums face up covering entire springform.

  • Top with crumble mixture (See Step 2)

Step 2: Crumble Mixture

Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup Softened unsalted butter

  • 1/3 cup Flour

  • ¼ cup Sugar

  • ¼ cup Brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup Oats

Directions:

  • Hand mix and crumble mixture on top of plums. Make sure to crumble into corners and around plums so they are still visible.

  • Bake for 40 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.

  • Remove from oven & run a knife around the edge when still warm, then release from springform.

I made this recipe using almond flour, making it great for those who can't eat wheat!

*Also great to use fresh apricots in place of plums.
