I like this Passover dessert because it doesn't pretend to be something it is not, risen dough. But the soft, sweet fruit covered in a crunchy topping is a warm, satisfying treat even cake-craving children will love.
A warmed crisp is wonderful as is, but for a dairy dessert, try with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. -- Lisa J. Solomon, for the Journal-Constitution
