Best Crumble I've EVER Had

I can't find the picture for this, but I can tell we it is truly AMAZING. I used plums and raspberries. I believe I used black plumbs, I can't recall for sure though. If you need an easy recipe, please try this. You will not be sorry in slightest. Well unless you eat half of it like I did;)

Fruit Cumble adapted from Ina Garten

2 pounds red plums, cut in 1/2, pitted, and cut in 1-inch wedges or peaches
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons whatever juice you have in your fridge
1/2 pint fresh raspberries or other berry
1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup sliced almonds, plus extra for sprinkling

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced plums, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of the flour, and the orange juice and toss well. Add the raspberries and toss lightly. Pour into a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish.
For the topping, place the remaining 1 cup of flour, the remaining 1/3 cup of granulated sugar, the brown sugar, and the salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse a few times to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Pour the mixture into a bowl, add the oats, and work it with your hands until it's in large crumbles. Add 1/2 cup of the almonds and mix well.
Spread the topping evenly over the plums, making sure the fruit is covered. Sprinkle with some extra almonds. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
