Peach and Plum Crisp

INGREDIENTS

1 lb ripe peaches
1 lb ripe plums
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp arrowroot or cornstarch
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup unbleached flour
1/2 cup sugar or demerara sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Pinch of sea salt
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/3 cup plain yogurt

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.

Cut the peaches and plums into 1-inch pieces. Place the chopped fruit in a medium-sized bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup sugar and the arrowroot. Sprinkle over the fruit, toss gently (but well), and then transfer the fruit to an 8-inch square baking dish.

To make the topping, combine the oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter and then the yogurt and mix until everything comes together in a dough-like texture. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the plum and peach mixture.

Place the baking dish in the oven, middle rack, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden. Sprinkle a bit more sugar on top as it comes out of the oven. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
