I made this dish for the first time as the dessert for our Thanksgiving meal last year. It was such a hit that I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to make it again. It’s not too much work and it tastes absolutely deeeeelicious! If you let it rest for about 30 minutes after it’s done baking, the consistency thickens and it’s just the perfect balance of crisp and ooey goodness. Oh and let’s not forget about the amazing fruit in there… It’s just all SO good! The perfect dessert for fall and winter…
