Steps:

Oat Topping:
Pulse 3/4 cup oldfashioned oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a food processor to blend. Pulse in 1 stick cut-up chilled unsalted butter until no dry spots remain. Transfer to a bowl and work in 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats with your fingers.
Assembly:
Toss 8 cups sliced stone fruit, berries, or pitted cherries with 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon, lime, or orange zest, 2 tablespoons lemon, lime, or orange juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Transfer mixture to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish, scatter oat topping over mixture, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 375° until fruit juices are bubbling and topping is golden brown, 60-70 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 1 hour.
The crumble:
Try swapping in unsweetened coconut flakes, sliced almonds, chopped pecans, or sunflower seeds at the end for all or part of the 1/4 cup of oats.
The filling:
Mix in a little grated peeled ginger (great with cherries), lemon thyme (delicious with berries), or a pinch of cinnamon.
