Sesame Free Cinnamon-Walnut Plum Oat Crisp

Juicy, jammy plums bubbling beneath a golden, crunchy topping — this fruit crisp is the kind of dessert that makes the whole kitchen smell like autumn. The filling leans on ripe plums tossed with maple syrup, arrowroot starch, cinnamon, and a hint of ginger, which together create a thick, glossy sauce as everything bakes. The topping is a satisfying mix of rolled oats, roughly chopped walnuts, almond flour, coconut oil, and more maple syrup — no refined sugar, no butter, and absolutely nothing derived from sesame. That matters more than it sounds, because tahini, sesame oil, and sesame-laced granola toppings sneak into a surprising number of crisp and crumble recipes. Here, every single ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can serve this with total confidence. The trick to that irresistible crunch is scattering the topping loosely rather than packing it down, letting heat circulate and turn each cluster deep golden brown. Let it rest for a few minutes after it comes out of the oven and the filling will thicken into something truly spoonable and spectacular.
