Filling:

• 6C nectarines + plums, pit removed and cut into chunks (approx. 4 of each fruit depending on how big they are)
• 1/2c sugar
• 2tbsp corn starch
• 1/4tsp salt
• Optional: 1 piece stem ginger, diced finely

Topping:

• 1.5C oats, divided
• 1/2C brown sugar
• 1/4tsp salt
• 1tsp cinnamon
• 1/2tsp ginger
• 1/4C butter

Preheat oven to 350F.

For the filling, whisk together the sugar, corn starch, and salt. Mixed in the fruit and toss to evenly coat.

For the topping, melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe dish (should take about 30sec or so). Meanwhile, in a spice grinder, high powered blender, or food processor, grind 1C of the oats (reserve the last half cup) with the salt and spices. Combine the ground oats + spices, whole oats, brown sugar, and melted butter. The mixture should be crumbly.

Add your filing to a baking vessel that just holds the fruit filling (I use a pyrex baking dish). Evenly sprinkle the topping onto the filling. Place the baking vessel onto a sheet pan in case any liquid pours out.

Bake for 1hr. Let rest for at least half an hour before serving.

P.S. I usually like to include weights, but I haven’t weighed the ingredients for this yet. I’ll come back and update this when I get around to doing this.

P.P.S. This recipe works with all kinds of fruit. For less juicy fruit, reduce the amount of corn starch OR add liquid (lemon juice or wine are borh nice additions). Add 10-15 min of cooking time for frozen fruit. The spices can be switched up, and nuts or seeds can be added to the topping. It’s quite versatile.
