Plum and Oat Bran Betty

• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 pounds Italian prune plums, pitted and halved
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3/4 cup oat bran
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 4 tablespoons soft butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a five- to six-cup baking dish with some of the melted butter.
3. Toss the plums in a bowl with the rest of the melted butter, the lemon juice, one-fourth cup of the oat bran, one-half cup brown sugar and one-half teaspoon cinnamon.
4. Spread the plums in the baking pan.
5. Using a fork, a pastry blender or a food processor, combine the remaining oat bran, sugar and cinnamon with the soft butter until crumbly.
6. Spread the mixture over the plums in the baking dish.
7. Bake for about 40 minutes, until the top has browned, the filling is bubbly and the aroma is irresistible.
8. Allow to cool until just warm, then serve.
9. Whipped cream, heavy cream or ice cream can be served alongside.
