"This recipe was created for the RSC Game at the FF&F website. It's an all-occasion dessert crowd-pleaser that fits my definition of "down-home" cooking & can be made year-round because it doesn't rely on seasonal fresh fruit supplies. Made in a 9-inch square baking pan & cut in 3-inch squares, it serves 9 generously -- But it easily converts to more servings using a 9 x 13 baking dish if you multiply the ingredients by 1 1/2. Serve it hot or cold as desired, but IMHO it invites a scoop of vanilla ice cream to top a warm serving. YUM! ENJOY!"

Okay, I confess. After making and eating a serve of this for dessert (with lemon sorbet), I sneaked back to the baking pan and had two more largish spoonfuls. Hold me back before I go for a third. This is a seriously delicious recipe and a great use of ingredients for the Ready Steady Cook competition. Be sure to cook it long enough for the topping to crisp up and go brown. Spice lovers could add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg. Thanks Twissis for creating and for posting.
