Recipe: Peach and Plum Crisp

July 24, 2007 in dessert, recipe, vegan

There is no denying that Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks has not only fantastic recipes, but beautiful photos. Her recent book: Super Natural Cooking is an absolute delight and I will be sharing some recent discoveries from that soon as well. But this recipe is all about summer fruit and dessert – which we all need from time to time. :) My version is vegan of course, but Brad and fully enjoyed it!

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 peaches
  • 5-6 plums
  • 1/4 c white or brown sugar
  • 1 T plus 1 t cornstarch
  • 3/4 c rolled oats
  • 3/4 c flour
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1/2 t cinnamon
  • sprinkle of nutmeg
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/3 c vegan butter, melted (I like Earth Balance)
  • 1/3 c rice milk
  1. Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.
  2. Cut the peaches and plums into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the first 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch over fruit. Mix well, but gently. Place in the bottom of a deep dish pie plate or other baking container (about 8×8 if square).
  3. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl to make the topping. Stir in the butter and rice milk and mix until clumpy and dough-like. Spread evenly over the plum and peach mixture.
  4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
