2. Add the sugar and cornstarch and stir gently until combined.

3. Place mixture into a lightly greased shallow oven-proof dish.

4. To prepare the topping, place the flour, oats, butter, brown sugar and cinnamon (if using) in a bowl. Using your fingertips, mix together until crumbly.

5. Stir in nuts and spoon topping evenly over fruit mixture.
