1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 cup butter

mix these ingredients in mixer or with pastry blender, add 1 egg and mix until crumbly.

Fill an 8x8 size pan with fruit. I love to use freestone peaches when in season. I pour boiling water over about 6 - 8 of them. Let sit for a few minutes then pour cold water over, they will peel nicely. Chop then up, add minute tapioca (2 Tablespoons) and some cinnamon. Place in bottom of ovenproof dish, cover with crumble and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Yummy with ice cream!
