800g ripe plums, halved and stoned

50g light brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp plain flour

For the crumble

250g plain flour

Preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F / Gas mark 6.

Put the plums into the base of a shallow gratin or baking dish about 28cm long.

In a bowl, combine and mix together the sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and flour and sprinkle over the plums. Spoon over 2 tablespoons of water.

Put all the crumble ingredients into a food processor, and using the pulse button, blitz until it just starts to clump together.
