Submitted by PCrocker

"The sweet crunchy topping compliments the tartness of the plums. I serve this warm with vanilla ice cream."

The recipe was a good starting point. I made a couple of changes. I used Italian prune plums and decreased the amount to 3 cups, which is about 1 lb. I also decreased the brown sugar to 1/4 cup and added a 1/4 cup white sugar. I used soften butter instead of melted butter. The resulting crisp was delicious. Fruity and not too sweet.

Excellent!! I will be making this again and again! I mixed all the filling ingredients together, and let them sit for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then I baked it in a 9-inch stoneware pie pan and for about 55 minutes.

Great recipe. Added a touch more sugar and butter to the crisp. Doubled the crisp. And at the end turned up the heat to 400 for 5 minutes to get it super crispy. Yummy.

Love it! I doubled the topping the first time per the other suggestions and thought it was too much. I added cinnamon to the topping, too. This is a keeper!
