Easy Plum Crumble Recipe

 I love this easy plum crumble recipe because it’s so delicious and a bit unexpected. You’ll also love how portable it is too! Plums are at their best right now and if you are looking for a dessert to bring to a summer BBQ, this is the ticket! If you can’t find plums you can also try my easy Summer Fruits Crumble recipe instead! 

How do you make this Easy Plum Crumble Recipe?

You can use regular Black Friar Plums which has the yellow flesh inside or some red plums. I love the deep red Santa Rosa Plums we get out here in California this time of year they are just spectacular.  But often I’ll just do a mix of both, that way you get tw different flavors tart and mild and the bright red color the Santa Rosas bring to the crumble are just fantastic! 

In fact, if the plums aren’t labeled properly at the market it can be hard to know what you are buying until you cut into them.  So if you really want the red ones, ask the produce department to verify they are in fact the variety you think they are, typically they’ll even slice one open and allow you to taste it.

Can you make this Easy Plum Crumble Recipe ahead of time?

Yes! The best part about a crumble is the fact that you can assemble the whole thing ahead of time and just pop in your fridge.  Then when you sit down to dinner, pop it in the oven and bake.  That way once dinner is over you’ll have a hot bubbling crumble ready to serve to your guests. This pairs really well with some high-quality vanilla ice cream and yes, this would be the time to spring for the Haagen-Dazs
