For filling, combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add fruit and juice or water; mix well. Transfer mixture to a 1-1/2-quart shallow casserole dish or 11 x 7-inch baking dish; top with butter pieces.
For dumplings, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add cheese; mix well. Add milk and butter; mix just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop dough into 8 or 9 mounds over fruit mixture.
Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until filling is bubbly and dumplings are golden brown. Transfer to a wire cooling rack; let stand at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
