Author Notes

Plums were actually a last minute addition to this crumble recipe, which I found in a newly-acquired cookbook. The yellow and red globe plums appeared in my CSA share. The whole-wheat flour in this recipe adds an extra helping of fiber and healthy goodness! —newRDcook

Test Kitchen Notes

WHO: NewRDcook is a dietitian in Philadelphia.
WHAT: A simple crumble that you can make with fresh fruits and pantry staples.
HOW: Sweeten blueberries and chopped plums with a little sugar, top with a whole-wheat crumble, and bake everything until the crumb top is golden brown and the smell of baking fruit is intoxicating.
WHY WE LOVE IT: This crumble is a great place to tuck away your summer fruit that’s a little too tart to eat on its own. Make sure to save some leftovers for breakfast the next morning: It’s wholesome enough (whole-wheat flour! 7 ingredients!) to eat morning, noon, and night. —The Editors

Good combo of berry and stone fruit. Squeezed half a lemon into the fruit. Halved the flour and used almond flour. Crumble came out fine, I might even use oats next time.

This topping is horrible! I made it and it was a flour based topping. Not sweet, not crumbly, just really dry and floury. Won’t make it again
