     1/4          Tsp.  ground nutmeg
     1/3            C.  milk

Preparation:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly butter a 9-inch round or square baking dish. To make filling: In same dish combine apples, apricots, raisins, sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss to mix, then spread evenly in dish. To make topping: Combine baking mix, sugar, and nutmeg; stir in milk to make dough. Gather dough into a ball and knead 4 times on lightly floured surface. Pat out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Tear into random pieces about 2 inches in size. Arrange pieces like a patchwork on top of fruit, leaving a few holes for steam to escape. Bake on bottom rack of oven 25 to 30 min. or until bubbly and lightly browned. Cool to warm before serving. Farmland News Archbold, OH Homemade dessert seems like a luxury for busy cooks, but this recipe practically makes itself using a mixture of fresh and dried fruits (no peeling, less chopping) and prepared baking mix for the sweet biscuit-like crust.
