Strawberry-Pineapple "Crumbler"

This recipe is the one I had planned on posting while at King Arthur Flour, but I forgot to bring it along. Oops.
Now, whats a "crumbler", you ask? Well, it is when you decide to make a cobbler, but at the last minute it becomes more of a crumble.
There is no crust for this recipe because of it cobbler origins, and crusts are often finicky. I wanted this to be simple, hence no crust. I also wanted the fruit to be the main focus, not to be outshined by flaky goodness. 

Today's post is a little short. I have been having trouble with writing posts lately. I'm not sure why, but hopefully I'll be back in the groove soon. I sure haven't been short on recipe ideas, in fact I've got a pretty lengthy list of ideas. I just need to get in the kitchen and test them!
