A ravishing combination that is also vegan (Use Maple Syrup) and gluten-free, this experiment of Baking with fresh fruits turned out marvelous.
Unlike the addition of all-purpose flour in usual bake goodies, these Hot Fruits need just fruits, some spices and a whole lot of butter.
However, you do need to add dark brown sugar to it. Why? Just because it peps up the sweetness and gives a great texture to the fruits.
Overall, this baked dish is a one-bowl recipe.
Yet, you can toss all your favorite fruits and spices in it, absolutely?

I have made this twice now and simply love it, and all my guests loved it too! Thank you very much. Two questions– Is there a way of prepping ahead of time? And if I have some of the baked fruit remaining, do you think I can refrigerate it and re-use it later?

Thanks much for trying my recipe. You can chop the fruits and mix them with lemon juice and refrigerate for a day.I always refrigerate the remaining fruits. Warm them at low heat in the oven and re use.
