  4. Put struesel topping over the fruit. Place in oven for about 40 minutes, or until browned on top and fruit is bubbling through at the edges. I placed foil on the bottom of the oven, to catch any fruit drippings.

  5. serve warm with any old topping you want! I can't eat ice cream, so I used cool whip, my mother used pistachio gelato, my stepdad used haagen daaz tart yogurt, and my sister used nothing. All versions were tart and soupy and delicious!
