    Can substitute plums for Italian prune plums.

    I reduced the sugar as others suggested, and added some broken walnuts in with the apples to add some crunch. I baked it in a 9 inch circular casserole which was ok. I think a larger dish would produce a thinner crunchier batter to fruit ratio. Quick and easy to make and I think would suit almost any mix of fruits.

    A simple, cheap, homely pudding from basic ingredients. I made this with apples and pears and it was delicious, but very buttery. Next time I will reduce the quantity of butter a little, and brown it as one of the other commenters here suggests! (It is rather sweet too, but that's pointed out in the recipe and I'm okay with it.) I can't see this going wrong with really any type of fruit, so will be handy to keep in my pocket for those seasonal gluts.

    Have made it twice, once with plums once with cherries. So easy. Very tasty. quite buttery. Definitely magic.

    Absolutely delicious dish... we made it twice in one week. First, with all plums and second time with peaches. In both cases, I cut the sugar in the cake/cobbler portion to 130 g (from 175) and only sprinkled sugar and cinnamon on top until it looked right. It was definitely less than the 1/4 cup and 3/4 tablespoon called for, but the flavors were perfect for us that way. I also let the butter start browning in the baking dish, which added more depth and the 2nd go around we added a hearty splash of bourbon to the browned butter, too. Will make again and again.

    This cobbler is not only easy but it is also insanely good. Do yourself a favor and make it right away!

    Easy and tasty! I used apples and plums as suggested but this really is a flexible recipe. I could have used a larger dish, but was worried it would be too thin.
