This is an easy and popular reciepe, unique if you make it with pears. My family gobbles it up in less time than it takes to make. Great recipe to take to a covered dish gathering.

Place the fruit in the pan , and sprinkle it with the lemon juice.
In a medium-sized bowl , cream together the butter , sugar , baking powder , spice , and salt till smooth.
Beat in the egg , then add the flour alternately with the milk , beating after each addition.
Spoon the batter over the fruit in the pan , spreading it to mostly cover.
To make the topping: whisk together the sugar , cornstarch , salt , and spice.
Sprinkle this mixture over the batter , then carefully pour the hot water over all.
It will puddle on top.
Thats ok.
