Ingredients:

• 8 cups fresh plums ( pitted and sliced (about 8-10 large plums))
• ⅓ cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons apple brandy ((optional))
• ½ Granny Smith apple (peeled and grated on a large box grater)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (cubed and cold)
• ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for topping
• vanilla ice cream (to serve (optional))

Instruction:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plums, brown sugar, brandy, grated apple, cornstarch and cinnamon. Spoon the mixture into a 9″ or 10″ cast iron skillet or a lightly greased casserole dish.
3. In a medium mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar. Add the butter and using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Add the cream and stir with a fork just until moistened. Gently press the mixture together using a spatula, forming a loose dough. Crumble the dough on top of the plum mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
4. Bake until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 45 minutes. Serve warm topped with ice cream if desired.
