This dessert is comfort food at best. I used tart red plums with sweet bing cherries and I threw in about cup of fresh blue berries that I wanted to use up. Tasty, not too sweet, beautiful color and a crunchy topping. The topping was not floury at all. You could use any type fruit. I did increase the cinnamon and I used chopped walnuts. Great with vanilla icecream.
