    INGREDIENTS

    * 500 grams/ 3 cups plums

    # Wet Ingredients

    * 200 ml/ ¾ cup + 1tbsp plant milk (I used soy milk)
    * 80 ml/ ⅓ cup neutral oil (I used rapeseed oil)
    * 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 

    # Dry Ingredients

    * 200 grams/ 1 ½ cups spelt flour (or all purpose flour)
    * 80 grams/ ¾ cups ground walnuts
    * 80 grams/ ⅓. cups cane sugar
    * 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    * ½ tsp baking soda
    * 1 pinch salt
    * 1 tsp cinnamon

    # Crumb Topping

    * 60 grams/ ⅓ cup flour
    * 25 grams/ 2 tbsp cane sugar
    * 30 grams/ 3 tbsp vegan butter
    * 3 tbsp ground walnuts

    IINSTRUCTIONS

    * Preheat your oven to **180 °C (350 °F)**. Line a **9 inch diameter baking dish (26 cm)** with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    * Remove the seeds and quarter the plums.
    * In a large mixing bowl, combine: flour, ground walnuts, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon (if using). Whisk everything together until evenly mixed.
    * In a separate bowl, whisk together: plant milk, oil, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, vanilla extract. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently **until just combined**. Don’t overmix, the batter should stay light.
    * Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking dish using a spatula. Place the plum quarters on top of the batter, skin side down in **tight rows** to cover the surface.
    * In a bowl, combine: flour, sugar, walnuts and butter. Rub the mixture together with your fingers until crumbly and generously sprinkle it over the plums before baking.
    * Bake for **40–50 minutes**, or until the top is golden brown. Let it cool off and enjoy!
