    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 375 degrees. For topping, in a bowl stir together flour, polenta, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside. In another small bowl combine the pecans, 2 Tbsp brown sugar, and the 1/4 tsp cinnamon; set aside. For filling, in a large sauce pan combine the apples, cherries, the 1/3 cup brown sugar, lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 5 minutes or until fruit is almost tender, stirring occasionally. Combine water and cornstarch. Add to saucepan. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Keep hot. Stir 1/3 cup half and half into flour mixture, stirring just to moisten. Transfer filling to a 2 quart square baking dish. Using a spoon, immediately drop topping into small mounds on top of filling. Sprinkle with pecan mixture. Bake for 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into topping comes out clean. Serve with additional half and half or vanilla ice cream. Makes 6 servings. Heavenly!!!!
