Ingredients
Filling
  • 3 cups chopped plums or pluots (about 5 plums)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cardamom and/or ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • pinch salt
Crust and Crumble
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Country Crock Plant Butter® with Avocado Oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Filling
  1. Toss plums with sugar, cornstarch, spices and salt; set aside.
Crust and Crumble

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Cut enough parchment so ends overhang on 2 sides so you can lift the bars out after they've cooled for easy cutting.

  2. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. Cream Country Crock Plant Butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
  3. Reserve ¾ cup dough. Press remaining dough firmly into prepared pan. Spread plum mixture evenly over crust. Crumble reserved dough over plums.

  4. Bake 50 minutes or until fruit is bubbling and top is golden. Cool completely on wire rack. Grasp ends of parchment and lift crumble from pan.  Slice into 16 bars.
