Butter shallow baking dish.
Lay sliced fruit in dish - (canned or fresh) apples, peaches, pears, or strawberry/rhubarb
Top with crumbled mixture of:
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 c quick oats
1/2 c flour
1/3 c softened butter
3/4 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 35 minutes
Notes:
*This is an old recipe that didn't give size of dish or amount of fruit! I normally use 7x11" dish and approximately 6-8 apples depending on size. Dish should not be more than half full of fruit, especially fresh fruit that is hard and needs to become soft as it bakes.
*Recipe works well with gluten free flour blends and gluten free oats.
*If fruit is tart, mix several tablespoons of sugar with fruit - I use raw sugar.
*Topping can be doubled for larger baking dishes.
*For crispier topping, bake approximately 10 additional minutes.
*Best served same day as baked.
