Darkhunter's Note:

Had this at a friend's house and loved them. Wouldn't you know, my sister went to her office collected recipes and found the recipe. Wanted to put it here before it was lost.

Yummy! I used frozen cranberries and blueberries. I brushed on melted butter with a pastry brush and sprinkled with Spiced Sugar (look it up, it's on here.)

My dough was quite sticky. It made for great fun with the kids but I think next time I'll add a bit more flour. We used apricots and dried plums and the kids couldn't get enough. The butter and cinnamon sugar at the end makes this dish worthwhile. Reviewed for ZWT4
