Lots'o Fruit

There are times that I have a bunch of pears or apples, or even nectarines in the frig that don't ever get eaten. So, this week, I was determined to figure out something to do with them that would be fabulous.  I put together an apple and pear cobbler dessert.  It was amazing (I must say so myself).
First, a little more background story.....my mom, who sometimes likes to pass on extra food or paper towels (to help out), brought over this Costco size bag of oats.  She claims that it is supposed to be the best.  What the heck am I supposed to do with a giant bag of oats, when I don't even eat oatmeal?  Well, wanting to make this cobbler, I called mom and asked her how those crumbly scrumptious crusts on top of deliciously baked fruit is made.  My first thought was Bisquick, or something similar.  But she mentioned oatmeal and sugar and butter.  Ah hah!  I got online and checked out some recipes for this cobbler crust. Of course, there were many variations, but they all had the same ingredients....and why wouldn't they.  So I put a recipe together that looked good for the crust.
The crust has to top something though, and that's where the extra fruit comes in.  I peeled and cut into chunks two pears, two apples, and two nectarines.  Next, I sauteed them in a couple tablespoons of butter and a little brown sugar until just tender.  Transferred those to a baking dish, topped with my crust mixture, baked for 20 minutes, and tah-dah!
