Method

Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/400F/gas 6. Quarter the plums and discard the stones. Toss the fruit layer ingredients in a large bowl, then tip this into a 30cm oval gratin dish or equivalent.

Whiz the crumble ingredients together in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine crumbs and just starts to cling together in nibs. Take care to stop the motor before the mixture turns into a dough.

Scatter this over the fruit, followed by a little extra sugar for added crunch. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and crisp. Serve hot about 15 minutes out of the oven or at room temperature with clotted cream.
