  • cut the cold butter into the bowl as well
  • place the lid on the processor and pulse to chop until it looks like coarse crumbs
  • remove the blade from the processor and add the oatmeal and press together until the oatmeal is incorporated
  • sprinkle the topping mix over the prepared fruit
  • bake in the preheated oven 45-50 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling hot and the topping is crispy brown
  • cool 10 minutes or so before serving with ice cream
  • OR cool completely a store lightly covered after 24 hours
