Turkey Free Cinnamon-Walnut Baked Plums with Almonds

Warm, jammy plums straight from the oven with a golden, spiced nut crust — this dessert is the kind of thing that makes people ask if you actually know what you're doing in the kitchen. The plums are brushed with maple syrup, coconut oil, and cinnamon before baking, so they soften into something almost custardy while their juices bubble up around the edges. The topping of roughly chopped walnuts and almonds gets coated in more maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of sea salt, then mounds up beautifully over each plum half and toasts to a deeply fragrant crunch. A final drizzle of honey pulls the whole thing together if you want just a little extra sweetness. This is a naturally wholesome recipe that happens to be completely free of poultry in any form — no broth, no meat, no hidden animal proteins — just fruit, nuts, and pantry staples doing all the heavy lifting. It works equally well as a dinner party dessert or a slightly indulgent weekend breakfast alongside yogurt. The hardest part is waiting the five minutes before you dig in.
