Method
 

Jammy Filling
  1. To make plum crisp you want to start by pre heating your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 10-in cast iron pan.
  2. Chop four cups of fresh plums and pour into cast iron pan with 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of brown sugar. (If you don't have brown sugar you can mix white sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses).
  3. Heat sugar and plums on medium high heat for 15 minutes to thicken the sauce. Take off the heat and mix in 1 tablespoon of arrowroot powder.
Crumble Topping
  1. Heat 3/4 cup of butter in a small sauce pan until browned not burnt!!
  2. Let brown butter cool in refrigerator. While butter cools mix 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup of flour, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and a pinch of salt
  3. Mix butter into the dry ingredients with a fork until it crumbles.
  4. Pour the topping mixture over the plums. Gently move it around with your hands until it evenly covers the plums. It's okay if the plums are not completely covered. 
  5. Bake for 40 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
  6. Enjoy with ice cream or fresh whipped cream
