Individual Plum Crisps

Preheat oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, toss the sliced plums with sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla bean paste until plums are evenly coated; set aside while you prepare the crumb topping.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter in to the flour mixture until pea-size clumps form.

Place four 5-inch diameter individual pie dishes on a half sheet pan. Divide the plums evenly among the pie dishes. Likewise, divide crumb topping evenly among the pie dishes. Bake in the center of the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the juices bubble and the topping turns golden brown.
