Ingredients
Topping:
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Filling:
- 2 1/2 pounds plums and apricots, quartered and pits removed
- 1/2 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Set rack in the center of the oven. Combine all of the topping ingredients into a food processor. Pulse until the mixture forms crumbles the size of small peas; do not over process. Set aside.
Pour the plums and apricots directly into a large, shallow baking dish and sprinkle with sugar and flour to coat evenly. Spread crisp topping over entire surface of fruit. Bake until fruit is bubbly and the top is golden brown, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature, plain or with ice cream.
Make the topping ahead. In fact make a double or triple batch and freeze it in single recipe size packets so you can whip up a crisp on the spot, anytime.

This recipe is a good start but could use some refining. (That said, I'm grateful it exists since my sweetie had come home with pounds of fresh plums and apricots, when I'd needed dried! I'd say that the filling would be better if you used tapioca rather than flour with the fruit. I can taste the flour, whereas the tapioca I always use when making my strawberry rhubarb pie disappears and creates the needed base to coalesce the fruit. I also added more oatmeal, butter, and brown sugar to the topping, and that helped. The fruit is very tart, so a good vanilla ice cream with it is a must.

Nice recipe. I followed people's advice and put less flour for the topping, but it is still a little bit too much. Everything else is great and tastes yummy. I added a little bit of lemon juice with the plums, but that's it. Good recipe.

Excellent recipe! After baking, i turned on the broiler to make the top extra brown and crispy and it came out great.
