Baked Stone Fruits with Oats and Almonds

What I love about Baked Stone Fruits with Oats and Almonds

This delicious, baked stone fruit dessert is one of my favourite things to make for hosting or entertaining in late summer. It’s both sweet and tangy with a little crunch from the oat and almond topping. The natural sweet juices from the stone fruits provide delicious, sweet flavour and zing to the tongue. Covered in a brown sugar, oat crumb topping and baked to perfection, it’s the perfect dessert to share with friends or family.

I love to serve it up warm with some homemade vanilla whipped cream. Another desirable topping would, of course, be none other than a little classic vanilla bean ice cream. Either way, you can’t go wrong! This easy recipe comes together in about 30 minutes including baking time! You can even prep it the day before you are planning to serve it and then just bake the next day. Bonus: it also reheats beautifully.

What you will need to make Baked Stone Fruits with Oats and Almonds

Here’s a list of ingredients that you will need:

• Stone fruits - I used peaches and black plums for this recipe, but you could also use nectarines, prune plums, cherries. Whatever you can get.

• Butter - Butter makes everything better. You will need unsalted butter for the oat crumb topping. I don’t recommend using salted butter as the end result may then be too salty.

• Vanilla - A little vanilla extract goes a long way. The flavour of vanilla along with the juicy stone fruits, butter and brown sugar is a delightful combination.

• Spices - The spices used in this recipe totally make it taste like a fall dessert! I used a blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and just a wee pinch of salt to enhance flavour.

• Oats - Rolled or old-fashioned oats will work best for this recipe. The texture and look is just what we’re going for with the larger flakes. I don’t recommend using quick oats as they are more fine of a texture than we want.

• Sliced almonds - Almonds add a little crunch and texture to the crumb topping. They are a delicious addition. I recommend sliced almonds because they are thin and not too chunky.

• Almond flour - I also added a little bit of almond flour to help everything stick together for the crumb topping. Because it is made from almonds, it also provides extra flavour.
