Oat and Fruit Crumble

This is a great recipe for any fruit and is really a crumble by any other name but using a topping which is more like a flapjack.  

I had looked for a recipe for an apple dish without flour for a gluten intolerant relation and found one which had several layers of this.  I then decided to adopt the recipe to use some of the wonderful plums which we have in the garden at present.

   

This will easily feed 6 with some left over. (but is a bit of a guestimate for all including for the amount of fruit) 

250 grams of rolled oats; 

125 grams chopped walnuts (they should still have texture); 

125 grams sugar (any type) 

about 200 grams butter;

enough fruit to include a thick layer at the bottom of the dish. 

I have used apples,  but recently I used plums and raspberries which was an excellent combination.   Put the fruit uncooked in the bottom of the dish you are using;   mix the oats, walnuts and  sugar together and spread over the top;  slice the butter and put the slices over the top of the dish;  bake in the oven for about 45 minutes.     

I hope you enjoy
