Mix on low speed for 1 minute, until the mixture is in large crumbles. Sprinkle evenly over the fruit, covering completely.

Take a quart-size Ziploc bag and fold up your recipe paper, write the date on it, and tape it to the outside of the dish and put in your freezer.
• If baking immediately, place the dish on a sheet pan and baked for 55 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is brown and the fruit is bubbly. Serve warm.
• If going from freezer, remove from freezer, leave wrapped. Allow to thaw completely. Unwrap and bake as directed above. May require an extra 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it. Don't let the top get too brown.
• Serve warm with ice cream, whipped cream or a nice caramel sauce.
