• total time: 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

8 cups fresh plums ( pitted and sliced (about 8-10 large plums)

⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)

2 tablespoons apple brandy (optional)

½ Granny Smith apple (peeled and grated on a large box grater)

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

⅓ cup granulated sugar

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed and cold)

⅔ cup heavy whipping cream

1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping

vanilla ice cream (to serve (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the plums, brown sugar, brandy, grated apple, cornstarch and cinnamon. Spoon the mixture into a 9" or 10" cast iron skillet or a lightly greased casserole dish.

In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar. Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the cream and stir with a fork just until moistened. Gently press the mixture together using a spatula, forming a loose dough. Crumble the dough on top of the plum mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.

Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream if desired.
