Crunchy Fruit Cobbler

I like a cobbler with a crunchy top! Most basic cobbler recipes just don't give the crunch texture that I love. A friend passed this one along to me and I have made it twice now, once with fresh pears and once with a can of peaches. Both turned out fantastic!

4 c fruit
1 cup sugar
1 cup self rising flour
1 egg
3T sugar
3T water

Pour fruit in 9 inch pan. Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar. Beat egg. Mix sugar and flour together. Place in bowl with egg. Mix using fork or pastry cutter until coarse in texture. Sprinkle on top of fruit. Then sprinkle 3 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water over top and dot with butter. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
