4 steps

Ingredients

  • Filling:
  • 1 cup pitted and chopped dates, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup cold water, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or more to taste
  • Crumble:
  • 1 3/8 cups self-rising flour
  • 1 1/2 cups margarine
  • 1 cup oats
  • 3/4 cup white sugar

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 355 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  2. 2
    Combine dates, water, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; cook and stir over medium heat until filling mixture forms a paste, about 5 minutes. Add more water if filling gets too thick. Remove saucepan from heat and cool.
  3. 3
    Place flour in a bowl and rub margarine into flour using your hands until mixture resembles bread crumbs; stir in oats and 3/4 cup sugar. Press 1/2 of the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spoon filling over over crust, smoothing with the back of the spoon, leaving a thin border between the filling and the edge of the dish. Sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over filling.
  4. 4
    Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
