Roasted Stone Fruit with Cookie Crumble

A variety of stone fruits looks great and tastes delicious, but use any fruit in season, or a combination, for this simple dessert. Its high smoke point and neutral flavour makes canola oil ideal for roasting vegetables and fruits; it also makes a heart-healthy crumble topping to scatter overtop. If you like, add a handful of sliced almonds or hazelnuts to the topping mixture. To streamline the recipe, crumble gingersnaps, oatmeal cookies or amaretti overtop of the fruit instead of making the topping yourself. Serve warm, with plain or vanilla yogurt, ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
