Fruit buckles
The first time I was introduced to a buckle was 1993, when my cousin made a blueberry one (Vancouver island).
By her own admission, she was not a great cook and, oh how we laughed, when it said 'pour the mixture' and it remained, bricklike in the bowl.
So I'm not actually sure if I have ever eaten a proper one, but I fancy making this for the family at the weekend.

I don't like cooked apple, but fruit things go down well (perhaps if I make an apple one, I won't be tempted to eat it )
Any ideas, folks?

What's the question?
Adding a crumble topping doesn't seem to be traditional in American recipes, but I like the combination of apricots and raspberries in this recipe.

Re: Fruit buckles
Found an interesting article on Martha Stewart that concisely differentiates crumble, crisp, cobbler and buckle

The recipe they give is for a raspberry buckle
I think I’ve eaten similar things made with blueberries

Buckles
A charmingly old-fashioned dessert that deserves a comeback, a buckle is a single-layer cake with berries or cut-up fruit in the batter, giving it a "buckled," or indented, appearance. There's more batter-to-fruit ratio than in the other desserts but, like it's crisp, crumble, and cobbler relations, it's simple to make and lovely to eat.

Basically, fruit that would work. I like the sound of the apricots and raspberry, but am open to suggestions

Re: Fruit buckles
Blueberry seems to be the classic but blackberry would be seasonal if you don’t mind the seeds
The Good Food method of folding in half the fruit and scattering half sounds more plausible than Martha scattering the lot, but cinnamon and raspberries, yuk

Plums, cut into quarters?
Nectarines and raspberries. Pears with pieces of stem ginger.

Re: Fruit buckles
In the comments, this seems to have failed for a few people. I mentioned on another thread the other day that on a recipe of this kind at cookery classes were were advised to use frozen berries. Any sprinkled on top were added after the mixture was in the oven. It means there is less chance of them disintegrating and over moistening the cakey part.
I expect other fruits would work but berries sound great.

Re: Fruit buckles
if the surface doesn't 'buckle' is it just a cake?
does dutch apple cake need to be renamed - 'apple buckle'?
(now try saying that over and over again!)
