Hi Joanna,
you can use any apples – cooking apples will get a bit too moushy for my taste, I prefer my apples to be a little more sour and solid, if that makes sense. 😀
All the best,
Lynn

Do the apples need to be cooking Apples or just any kind of regular apples? Thanks! 🙂

Hi Catherine,
the oats are to remain whole, so it’s better to use the fine ones, not the old-fashioned oats.
Thank you so much for your sweet words for my blog. I’m flattered!

Hi Lynn!

This recipe looks delicious! I just want to clarify – are the oats supposed to be ground into a flour as well? Or are they supposed to be left as is?

Thanks! I also just found your blog but I must say it’s amazing so far! Going to try a few of the Christmas recipes this season!!

Cheers.

Aw, Taci, you made me blush there a little. Of course you can definitely sub them with plums, it works just fine. You may need to add a little more maple syrup as plums tend to be less sweet than damsons, but honestly, they probably taste the same. It’s funny because damsons are much more common here than plums. I’ve never seen damsons in the U.S. when I lived there, but I remember eating the best plums in a whole foods in Albany. Delicious!
Thank you for sharing it on your Facebook page. Made my day!
Lots of love to the West Coast from Germany,

Lynn, this crisp is absolutely divine! I’ve never seen damsons around here, but I think I can sub italian plums or maybe plouts for them? I couldn’t agree more about Fall. As much as I love Summer, Fall is my favorite season by far. For the same reasons as you. Cozy sweaters, cuddles on the couch and copious amounts of hot chocolate and movie watching! Indoor activities rule around here! Thank you for this delicious recipe my dear!
