-
8 to 10 fresh plums

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

100 grams amaretti cookies

150 grams flour

- Place the Amaretti cookies in a plastic food bag and using your fist grind the cookies into very small crumble like bits. Do not over grind into a powder as the crumble effect will be lost.

- Using your fingers mix the ingredients until you have a crumble like topping.
- Sprinkle the topping over the plums leaving a small gap on the side so the plum juice can bubble through when cooking.
- Place in oven at 190 degrees and cook for 50 minutes or until the topping is a golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite ice cream or cream topping.
