[I Cant Believe Its]

I really enjoyed these! they cooked up super well! I have to admit though, I made some changes: I used only 1/2 a cup of fruit (I dont see how these could take anymore then that) and I used chopped canned peaches for the fruit. I also added vanilla and cinnamon, and I cut the oil in half. They worked great though with these alterations, and I will make them again!
