This healthyish stone fruit crumble made with cherries, peaches, plums, and apricots is topped with a crunchy oat and almond crust and baked to bubbly perfection. It's the perfect summer dessert! (dairy-free & vegan option)

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 cups pitted and chopped stone fruit (such as cherries, peaches, plums and/or apricots)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  •  cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats, divided
  • 1/4 cup almonds
  • ½ cup chilled butter, cubed*

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or 8-12 small ramekins (depending on size).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the fruit, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, juice, and salt. Rest the mixture for 15 minutes so the fruit releases its juices.
  3. In a food processor, pulse the oats, flour, almonds, brown sugar, salt, and butter until combined but still chunky.
  4. Pour fruit mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins.
  5. Crumble the oat topping evenly over the fruit.
  6. Bake until the filling is bubbly and topping is golden, about 30-40 minutes for individual ramekins or 45-60 minutes for a large dish.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes minutes before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

  • Use cold coconut oil in place of butter for dairy-free & vegan
  • Save yourself the extra effort and leave the peels on the fruit! When you cook the fruit it softens the skins so you won't even notice them.
  • Leftovers can be stored at room temperature, covered tightly for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Make sure it is completely cooled before storing to prevent sogginess.
  • If the topping starts to get too dark at any point, loosely cover with a piece of foil and continue baking.
