I use this batter topping for all sorts of fruit cobblers. It even tastes good if you use canola oil instead of butter. I usually use fresh cranberries and apples in a pie plate, and then top it with the batter. It tastes so good when it is served warm and topped with a bit of vanilla ice cream. Another variation I've done (which amazingly has turned out well) is apples, strawberries, and topped of with ripe banana slices. I know it sounds weird, but people really liked it. This topping is very nice, feel free to experiment with your own fruit combinations.

Couldn't stop eating it! Used fresh plums, pears, and frozen raspberries. Delish.

Great base recipe and I love the emphasis on fresh fruit! I used pears, strawberries, and just 2 apples for mine and the only other modifications I made were adding a dash of nutmeg, about 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice to fruit. I also had a longer cooking time of about 45 minutes. Will keep using this recipe, lovely batter :)

This seemed too easy to be any good but was I surprised! I used a quart of mixed tree fruit (peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums) with 1/4 cup sugar mixed in and increased the vanilla to 1 tsp because I love a stronger flavor. It turned out golden brown on top and a perfect balance of fruit and cake. By day 2 the juices had been absorbed by the cake and it lost it's texture but it still tasted fine. I used black plums and yellow and white peaches and nectarines, so the finished product was also beautiful with a lovely mixture of yellow, pink and red.

It is an easy recipe, and I enjoyed making it. I added cinnamon and sugar directly to the fruit. My whole crumble (made up of a collection of fruit: apples, peaches, yellow plums, blueberries, raspberries) was tart. Not sure how to remedy that exactly. Kids, therefore, didn't really eat it, but the adults loved it.

Very tasty. I made this with Pears, Apples and Blueberries (becuase that's what I had!) and used Splenda (I reduced it to 1/2 C and it was still plenty sweet). I had to double the dough as it wasn't nearly enough for 2 pears, 1 large apple and about a cup of blueberries. Next time I think I will add Oats to see if its more like a "crumble".

This was delicious!!...and so quick and easy to make!! The first one I did the fruit measure of 2/3 fresh plums and 1/3 fresh apples. The texture came out perfect and golden in color. This is now one of my favorites for quick-easy-and delicious. I will definitely be making this more and with some of my other favorite fruit combos! Try it...you'll love it!! :)>
