My favourite is Plum Crumble - I use the following recipe for Rhubarb Crumble and have substituted plums:
2lb (900g) plums - washed, halved and stoned
6oz (175g) golden caster sugar
1 level tsp ground cinnamon
Zest and juice of half a lemon
3oz (75g) plain flour
3oz (75g) medium oatmeal or porridge oats
30z (75g) chilled butter, cubed
Cook the plums over a medium heat with the cinnamon, lemon juice/zest and 3 1/2 oz (100g) of the sugar. Approx ten minutes or until the plums are just soft but have still kept their shape.
Crumble topping - mix together flour and oats in a bowl. Add butter and rub in until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the remaining sugar and cinnamon. (I prefer to add a bit more cinnamon than stated in the recipe but it's up to you.)
Grease a 2 pint (1.1litre) ovenproof dish and place on sturdy baking sheet. Spoon in the cooked plums. Sprinkle crumble mixture on top. Bake in preheated oven (Gas 7/220C or 200C fan oven) for approx 15-20 mins or until the crumble is golden and plums are bubbling hot.
Delicious!
