plum raspberry oatmeal crisp

Simple. Fresh. Easy. Three words that epitomize summer cooking at its best. I love using fresh, local ingredients when the seasons allow and right now it's all about plums and raspberries (both ahead of schedule here in Maryland because of a very warm spring). I was thinking of making something elaborate like a tart or pie, but I have neither the time nor the energy for making pastry dough and assembling the dessert. So, I settled on a crisp - yes! Easy to make, lots of payoff, and very little work for me. I simply modified the Martha Stewart recipe for a plum oatmeal crisp found here by adding raspberries and adding a 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to the crisp mixture. I really don't think you can make a crisp or a crumble without cinnamon, but that's just my opinion. Try it out, I think you'll like it - enjoy!
