Recipe from Martha Stewart

Before dotting with cinnamon/sugar/butter and baking

I didn't have whole milk so I used half and half instead.  Also, still need to go out and buy some all-purpose flour so I ended up using whole wheat again as well.  This turned out better than I thought it would though it's more of an autumn food than a summer food.  One small thing I would change about the recipe is that you should probably cut up the remaining 2 tblsp. of butter into cubes and then keep that frozen.  Then, when the time comes to sprinkle the cinnamon/sugar mixture, you can just mix in the butter with it and THEN sprinkle all of it over the fruit.
