Hello all,
I’ve learned to make a new dessert and it hits the spot so often. I’ve made it multiple times for different people and everyone loves it too.
I love fruit based desserts because they’re naturally sweet, are more nutrient dense than you’re average dessert, and a good source of fiber. Add in some whole grain and I am sold.
This one in particular is so versatile because you can really switch up the fruit. I’ve made it with strawberries and blueberries, just apples, and then a mixture of the three, the last one being my favorite. I think I want to try to add in peaches next time!
It’s also pretty easy to make it. I won’t say it’s super easy but it’s not too bad either. One a scale of one to ten with one being scooping ice cream out of a carton, it’s probably a 5.
Alright, on to the recipe. This makes about 5 servings (double for a 9″ pie plate like in the photo).
Ingredient:
- 3 cups of fruit of choice, chopped evenly (highly recommend trying apples, blueberries, and strawberries)
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoons white flour
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons white flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- Dash of salt
- 1/2 stick softened butter*
Instructions
Grease baking pan with butter or spray oil
- Mix fruit, 1 tablespoon sugar, 2 tablespoons white flour, and cinnamon together
- Spread in pan and set aside
- Mix remaining ingredients and mixed well together, use hands
- Refrigerate until butter hardens
- Remove from fridge and poke with fork to create crumbs
- Sprinkle crumbs over fruits
- Bake in preheated oven (350F) for about 45 minutes until house smells amazing, fruit filling bubbles and crumb browns.
- Wow everyone with delicious dessert!
Enjoy my friends.
Warmly,

*You can use cold hard butter and a pastry blender or knives to work butter into crumb but I find the knives frustrating and difficult and I don’t have a pastry blender.
