Nectarine Mixed Fruit Cobbler with Crunchy Topping

I had purchased too many peaches, nectarines, and plums. So I thought I would make a cobbler, but I wanted a crunchy top. This recipe was born, and it's been a hit at home and at work ever since. Use very ripe fruit. My family loves the topping so I've taken to doubling it. My husband will eat for dessert and breakfast.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
