Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix plums, brown sugar, tapioca, sherry, nutmeg, and allspice together in a 9x13-inch baking pan. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until tapioca has softened, about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Combine flour and sugar in a bowl. Cut margarine into small pieces and add to the flour mixture; cut in with a pastry blender or two forks until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in cereal and walnuts. Squeeze mixture into large lumps and coarsely crumble over the plum mixture.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until fruit is bubbling and topping is golden brown, about 45 minutes.
