2 1/4 pounds apricots, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (6 cups)
6 ounces strawberries, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup rolled oats, plus more for sprinkling
3/4 cup cold heavy cream, plus more for brushing and serving (optional)
Fine sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

Filling:Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir together apricots, strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Transfer to a 2 1/2-quart baking dish.
Topping:Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter; using your fingers, work it into dry ingredients until largest pieces are the size of small peas. Add oats and cream; stir with a fork until combined and a soft, sticky dough forms. Use two spoons to divide into 9 pieces, distributing evenly over fruit in baking dish. Brush tops with cream. Sprinkle with more oats, then sanding sugar.
Bake until bubbling in center and biscuits are golden brown, 1 hour (if browning too quickly, tent with foil after about 45 minutes). Let cool at least 2 hours before serving, topped with more cream.
