Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine the fruit, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
Pour the fruit mixture into a greased baking dish.
Drop spoonfuls of the batter over the fruit, covering it as much as possible.
Sprinkle additional sugar on top of the batter for a sweet crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
