   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.

4. 4

   Dot the top with small pieces of cold butter, spacing them evenly. If using, sprinkle chopped nuts for a crunchy topping.

5. 5

   Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.

   Remove from oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
