Cherry almond crisp is a classic dessert that combines the sweetness of cherries with the nutty flavor of almonds. It is a great way to use up fresh cherries in the summer, and it can also be made with frozen or canned cherries when they are not in season. The crisp is made with a simple combination of oats, flour, sugar, and butter, which is then topped with cherries and almonds. The crisp is then baked until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling. Serve the crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

CHERRY ALMOND CRISP

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 individual crisps

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash nutmeg
1 1/2 sticks cold butter
1/2 cup slivered almonds
Four 12-ounce bags frozen tart cherries
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Vanilla ice cream, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Start with the crumb mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
  • Cut the cold butter into pieces. Add the butter to the bowl and use a fork or pastry blender to cut it into the flour mixture. The mixture should resemble a moist, coarse meal. Add the slivered almonds and combine thoroughly.
  • Place the still-frozen cherries in a bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch and almond extract and gently stir the cherries to combine.
  • Divide the cherries between 8 ramekins (about 1/2 cup each). Top with the crumb mixture, evening out the surface.
  • Bake until the topping is crisp and golden brown, about 45 minutes. If the topping appears underdone, continue baking in 10 minute increments until it's done.
  • To serve: Add the heavy cream and granulated sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Serve the individual crisps warm or at room temperature with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 33

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, preferably skin-on
2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
One 16-ounce bag frozen cherries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, preferably skin-on
2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
One 16-ounce bag frozen cherries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, preferably skin-on
2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
One 16-ounce bag frozen cherries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Scatter half the butter pieces in a microwave-safe 9-inch pie dish. Microwave, uncovered, on high (at 100 percent power) until the butter has melted, 45 seconds in an 1,100-watt oven or 1 minute in a 700-watt oven. If the butter has not melted, microwave it again in 5-second increments. Add 1/4 cup of the flour, brown sugar, almonds, oats, cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon salt, and toss together with a fork until all the dry ingredients are moistened, leaving large clumps. Spread out the streusel in a single layer. Microwave, uncovered, on high (at 100 percent power) for 3 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 4 minutes in a 700-watt oven, stirring halfway through. Remove the dish from the microwave, and stir. The streusel should be golden brown; if it's too light, microwave again, uncovered, in 15-second increments. Set aside.
  • In a microwave-safe 1-quart shallow baking dish, toss together the cherries, the remaining 2 teaspoons flour, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Dot with the remaining butter pieces. Microwave, uncovered, on high (at 100 percent power) for 16 minutes in an 1,100-watt oven or 28 minutes in a 700-watt oven. Stir the cherry mixture. The juices will be the color of deep-red wine and should be looser than you expect, about the consistency of real maple syrup (they will thicken as they cool). If they seem too loose, microwave again, uncovered, on high (at 100 percent power) in 1-minute increments. Let the cherry mixture sit for 10 minutes, as it will be too hot to eat right away. Sprinkle with the reserved streusel topping, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cherries: Fresh, ripe cherries are best for this recipe. Avoid using frozen or canned cherries, as they will not hold their shape as well. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen unsweetened cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Use a variety of nuts: Almonds are the traditional nut for cherry crisp, but you can also use walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts. If you're using a mixture of nuts, be sure to toast them all together so that they have a consistent flavor.
  • Don't overmix the topping: The topping should be crumbly, not doughy. If you overmix it, the crisp will be tough.
  • Bake the crisp until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling: This usually takes about 30-35 minutes. If the topping is browning too quickly, cover the crisp with foil.
  • Serve the crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream: This is the perfect way to enjoy this classic dessert.

Conclusion:

Cherry almond crisp is an easy and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's made with fresh cherries, almonds, and a sweet crumbly topping. This classic dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
