Ingredients
UnitsScale
1cup rolled oats
3/4cup all-purpose flour
3/4cup brown sugar
1/2cup unsalted butter, cubed
6cups sliced apples (or peaches, pears, plums, or apricots)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Optional Whipped Cream
1cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
2–3 tablespoons sugar (depending on how sweet you like your whipped cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
Heat oven to 375˚F.
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and butter. Using your hands, gently work these ingredients together, rubbing the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly. Set aside.
Core and slice the fruit.
Place the fruit in a 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle the fruit with the cinnamon, water, and lemon juice.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the fruit.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until fruit is tender and the topping is golden brown.
Optional Whipped Cream
Whip the cream in a chilled mixing bowl until the cream begins to form soft peaks.
Gradually add the sugar and vanilla.
Continue to beat until firm peaks are formed.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
Notes
Use your whipped cream right away or cover and store it in the refrigerator. It’s best within 24 hours of whipping. Give it a quick whisk, if needed.
Substitute the vanilla with your favorite liqueur or leave the vanilla out altogether.
