Mom's Plum Crunch

This is one of my favorite fall desserts. I absolutely love it. It's such an easy dessert to make. The prune plums when split in half fit the baking dish perfectly.

3 cups halved and pitted Italian prune plums (18)

3 TBL. Brown Sugar

5 TBL. Sugar

1/4 tsp. Nutmeg

Topping:

One egg well beaten

1 c. flour

1 c. sugar and 1/2 to 3/4 oatmeal

1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup melted butter or margarine

Spray 7x12 pan with no stick spray.

Put prepared plums, cut side up, on the bottom of the pan.

Mix the two sugars and nutmeg together and sprinkle over fruit.

Beat the egg in a bowl, then add the dry ingredients together.

Mix until crumbly.  Sprinkle over crumbs.

Pour melted butter over all.

Bake in 375 oven for 35 minutes.

Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
