Not only is it nearly effortless, but it's also endlessly adaptable, accommodating whatever fruit is most glorious at the market and what items you have in your pantry. We've created this recipe to work with a variety of summer fruits (see below for options) and a variety of pantry staples to customize the topping to what you have on hand.
