Baked Persimmon with Oat Crumble

by Yejiskitchenstories

These baked persimmons with oat crumble are the perfect cozy fall dessert. They’re easy to make, healthy, and come together in less than 20 minutes. This recipe is also gluten-free friendly.

What are persimmons?

There are two main types of Asian persimmons: Fuyu and Hachiya that can be found in North America.

Hachiya persimmons are oval-shaped and deep blood-orange in color. They taste the best when left to fully ripen until the interior is super soft, almost custard-like.

Fuyu persimmons are my favorite kind. They are rounder in shape and have flat bottoms. They don’t have to be left to fully ripen to enjoy and they have a slightly sweeter flavor than the Hachiya persimmons. The texture is similar to a firm mango but tastes more honey-like.

What you’ll need:

  • Fuyu persimmons: these can be found at most Asian grocery stores generally between the months of Oct-Jan.
  • Rolled oats/old-fashioned oats: this type of oats is best for this recipe for quicker cooking time.
  • Brown sugar: light or dark brown sugar can be alternately used for this recipe.
  • Butter: for that delicious buttery crumble.
