How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350`F. Place fruit in a lightly sprayed 9” x 13” baking dish. Set aside.
Step 2
In the bowl of a food processor, combine half of the butter pieces, half of the sugar and half of the flour; process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Pour mixture into a large bowl, and repeat process with remaining butter, flour and sugar. Combine mixtures in the bowl and press mixture with your hands to form clumps of dough. Sprinkle dough over fruit in the baking dish, crumbling over fruit in an even layer. Leave some larger pieces with the smaller ones, to make a nice crumbled topping.
Step 3
Place dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and lightly crisped, and fruit is hot and bubbly. Cool slightly before serving, and top with ice cream or whipped cream.
