Warm Brandied Fruit Compote
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35-40 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
I adore make ahead breakfast dishes. This one is nice for a winter brunch-or Christmas morning. Assemble the day before and bake in the morning. One hint- the pie filling makes this plenty sweet, so try to choose unsweetened canned fruits. The crumbled topping is optional.
Directions
Butter a 2½-quart casserole; layer in the fruit.
In a medium bowl combine the pie filling, almond extract, cinnamon and brandy; pour over fruit. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Heat oven to 350ºF
Sprinkle crumbled cookies over fruit mixture. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
