2 to 2 1/2 cups fresh seasonal berries, such as blueberries and blackberries
6 black plums, chopped
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled cut oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2
For the filling: Combine the berries and plums in a mixing bowl.
3
Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt, and toss to coat.
4
If your fruit is super sweet and in season, you may need less sugar.
5

6
For the topping: Combine the flour, brown sugar, oats and salt in a large mixing bowl.
7
Next, cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks, making sure that the butter stays chilled so you end up with a crumbly texture.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
