Traditional Austrian - my way: Kaiserschmarrn with plums and cinnamon

Kaiserschmarrn is a traditional Austrian sweet dish. It is served warm with either apple sauce or stewed plums (Zwetschkenröster). It is an ideal store cupboard meal that can be scrambled together and eaten any time of the day. In restaurants they usually put it in the dessert section of their menu. When I grew up we would get it for lunch as the main dish, though.
Since it is really easy to make and very loved by everyone in my family, this was one of the first recipes I experimented with in order to make a healthier version also my sunshine could enjoy.

When I first shared this recipe on my German blog it was late summer. I was inspired by the variety of ripe fruit available at the time. 
Plums are currently not in season and I really prefer to buy seasonal fruit and vegetables, so I just adapt the recipe and use whatever fruit is available. This Kaiserschmarrn is also great with apples, different berries, peaches, apricots or cherries. You can even replace it with raisins (which is actually the traditional addition) or other dried fruit. Try whichever fruit you fancy and let me know about your variation!
