Michelle Darmody: Using up fruit in baking

This week’s recipes are designed to help you use up fruit, particularly if you have bananas or other fruit piling up in the house. Similar to last week, the recipes are simple and can be made, with some supervision, by younger members of the family.

A basic crumble topping is a handy recipe to have. You can use it with apples, pears or any stoned fruit, from nectarines or peaches to plumbs or apricots.
