The filling is pure ooey-gooey jammy goodness, with tart apples and sweet berries sweetened with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Meanwhile, the crust is an extra crunchy buttermilk treat, loaded up with almonds for nuttiness and an extra crisp sensation. Indulge in the Fall Dessert Bake and you'll find yourself fully immersed in that true autumn feeling!

Step 8 -Drop 8 (1/4-cup) scoops of the dough over the filling in the baking dish.
