4 ripe, firm bananas, peeled
3/4 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, in 6 pieces

Combine orange juice and vanilla; reserve. Slice bananas lengthwise and place cut side up in four buttered baking dishes. Combine flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, nutmeg and salt. Add butter. Using a pastry blender or two knives, blend until mixture resembles small peas. Drizzle bananas with orange juice. Spoon crumble mixture over fruit. Bake at 375 degrees F for 15-20 minutes.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
