So, I had a bowl full of cherries and a few very ripe plums. What to do, what to do. A crisp! I haven't made a fruit crisp in ages -- obviously a long overdue dessert.
Cherry Plum Crisp
Fruit Layer
4 cups of fruit (I used about 3 cups of pitted cherries, halved and 1 cup of chopped plums)
(I think this recipe could have benefited from another cup or 2 of fruit)
1 1/2 TBSP brown sugar
2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon (I completely forgot this)
Topping
1/2 cup rolled oats
2 TBSP chopped walnuts
1 TBSP brown sugar
2 TBSP melted butter
Combine all of the fruit layer ingredients and turn into a greased 9"x9" baking pan. Combine topping ingredients until well mixed. Bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes. Keep an eye on this so as not to burn the oatmeal. Of course, this is best served topped with vanilla ice cream.
Two notes about this recipe:
I adapted in from my favorite apple crisp recipe, so feel free to substitute any fruit for the cherries/plums.
The oat topping will be chewy, but I like that kind of texture. If you don't, you may want to either grind up the oats, use the quick cooking type or pre-cook them.

Mmmm, I'm always tossing this and that in a pan and seeing what happens.
