  • Start. Cover the fruit mixture with foil and bake for 20 minutes to release juices and start the thickening process.
  • Make Topping. While the filling bakes, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla, and beat 1 minute more. Add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing just until combined.

Notes

The filling should stay a little tart to balance the sweet cookie topping. If you prefer it sweeter, increase the sugar in the filling to 2/3 cup.
