Apple and Prune Crumble


This is my favorite dessert: very quick and easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. Feel free to substitute the type of apples and the flavor to match what you have at hand.

Ingredients
6 prunes cut in 4
6 apples (such as Cortland, Golden delicious)
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 cup brown sugar + 2 Tbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup butter at room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
11-by-8 inch baking dish

Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Lightly coat the baking dish with butter.
  3. Mix the oats, flour and sugar in a bowl. Add the butter in pieces and blend in with your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse bread crumbs.
  4. Peel, core and slice the apples approximately 1/4inch thick. Place directly in the baking dish. Add the prunes, 2 tablespoons sugar , the ginger, the cream and toss to coat.
  5. Top evenly with the crumble mix.
  6. Bake until golden and bubbly 40- 45 minutes.
