Plum and Peach Crisp/Cobbler

Kathy gave Danny and I a bag a plums from the tree out back and there was no way we could eat them all. I had never tried plum crisp before but I decided to try out a recipe for fun. We had a couple peaches too so I decided to do a plum and peach crisp/cobbler. Luckily, I found a healthier recipe and decided to try it since I would be loading ice cream on top of the crisp anyway. We brought it over to Kathy and Karl's when we had a "Hunger Games" movie night. Everyone really liked it! So I am making it again today or tomorrow because it was GONE by the end of the night! We even said we could eat it plain for breakfast because it is pretty healthy and delish. You could do this with a wide variety of fruits if you have them on hand- or even canned?

Fruit:
1 pound ripe peaches (I just cut up just one)
1 pound ripe plums  (I used about 10-12... just enough to fill the pan)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Crisp:
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
big pinch of salt
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup yogurt (you could leave out if you dont have any)
1/3 cup apple sauce

Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.

For the fruit layer: Mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Cut the peaches and plums into bite-sized, 1-inch pieces. I peeled the skins off so it was less tart in the end due to the low sugar content, however if you want to leave them on go for it.  Place the chopped fruit into the bowl with sugar and cornstarch and gently toss together. Place the fruit mix into an 8x8 baking dish.

To make the topping: Combine the oats, flour, sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter until combined. Then mix in the yogurt and apple sauce until everything comes together in a "dough-like texture"  Mine ended up being pretty runny, like in between a brownie batter and cookie dough. Who knows what it should be like. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the plum and peach mixture.

Place the baking dish in the oven, middle rack, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden. (The recipe said 20-25 mins, but mine took about 30-35) Sprinkle a bit more sugar on top as it comes out of the oven, or even some cinnamon sugar!

I highly reccomend eating it warm with vanilla ice cream. However, Kathy and Karl ate it chilled and with whipped cream and said it was good. So do what you feel is right.
