1/4 c. crushed bran cereal (nuggets, flakes or squares)
1 tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt

Other fruits, such as bananas, fresh or frozen berries, or any well drained canned fruits, may also be used.

NOTE: One recipe may be poured into 3 small 8 inch skillets. Reduce baking time for small skillets to about 30 minutes.
