  4. Cut in the cold butter or shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Gently fold in the drained fruit pieces, ensuring they are coated with the batter.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch baking dish or pie plate.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
