You should be able to sub any firm fruit like pear, banana. Peaches could
work if you get really firm ones because if you don't have firm ones it
could make them a little soggy. In that case I would partly dry out some for
the chunks in the oven or dehydrator. Pumpkin can be cooked down into a
puree and cubed for the chunks just add some pumpkin spice. You could use
carrots and add cream cheese ( if vegan?) for the puree and add spices for a
carrot cake fritter.
