These bars are a real life-saver when you have an abundance of fruit you don't quite know what to do with. Apples, bananas, peaches, pitted cherries, rhubarb, strawberries, blueberries, plums—all lend themselves to this easy dessert. Cut in squares and serve warm, with whipped cream or ice cream, or let cool and cut into smaller bars to pack on a picnic. Simple as they are, these bars have never failed to draw praise from anyone who's tasted them.
