A buckle is a cakelike dessert that got its name because of the way the cake bakes up around the fruit and then "buckles." Our version uses Italian plums and fresh apricots, but you can use whatever stone fruit you like or happens to be in season. If you can't find Italian prune plums, use red or black plums instead. After making the batter, you arrange the fruit on top, then sprinkle with a crumble mixture of flour, sugar, butter, and cinnamon. Bake it, then marvel at your fruit cake's "buckled" appearance before serving the sweet treat to your guests.
