Moist and Moreish, it has a wonderful crunchy sugarplum topping. Originally from a Good Food Magazine. I have also substituted the plums for Rhubarb, Nectarines and apples, I'm sure any fruit will work well.

"PLUM" GOOD CRUNCH



When a neighbor gave me a bunch of plums, and the only thing I could think of was jam, a 2nd neighbor gave me this recipe! It is so tasty and simple to make. I pretty much have to double it now, as everyone loves it. By the way, after I made this, we planted our own prune plum trees!
