I know I often claim that I don’t bake, but baking fruit with a crumbly-type of topping seems totally approachable for me.

I am not a baker. In fact, I think I’m pretty awful at baking. The measuring and precision involved can really send me over the edge. As a creative-type, I like to make “recipes” and I like to be able to throw in a little of this and a little of that. You can’t really do that with baking. I mean, …
