About

This is a variation on the classic apple crisp. While almost any fruit will taste delicious with our oat topping, we think the combination of pears and plums is ideal because of the contrasting textures, levels of sweetness, and terrific color. This recipe is great for any outdoor event, and it is super easy to make.
