This is absolutely fabulous and a big, big hit every place I take it! Lovely, attractive alternative to pecan and pumpkin pies. I have repeatedly used the healthier version of crumble without pie crust, and less sugar. Even the dollop of yogurt is perfect. Ice cream and pie crusts would naturally be ‘better’, just not as healthy. One friend told me I could eat it for breakfast; baked fruits and granola-like. Pretty sure I will be trying that, too.
