Servings: persons

1 cup (5 ounces) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup hazelnuts, finely chopped (see note)
1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
8 tablespoons (4 ounces) unsalted butter
1/3 cup (2 2/3 ounces) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch

pinch salt
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) unsalted butter
1 pound 12 ounces red plums (about 10 small), pitted and cut into 1/2-inch wedges (see note)

1
Combine flour, nuts, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Melt butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in flour mixture until moistened and mixture forms small clumps. Return to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until streusel is golden brown and well toasted, 6 to 9 minutes. Transfer streusel to large plate to cool (see note). Streusel can be made up to 5 days ahead. After cooling completely, store in an airtight container at room temperature.
2
stir sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. Add butter, plums, and sugar mixture to skillet and heat over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, about 1 minute.
3
Increase heat to medium, cover, and cook, stirring occasionally, until plums are almost softened, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove lid and cook until plums are cooked through and mixture has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes more.

Immediately top plums with streusel and serve.

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.
