Cherry Almond Crisp Recipes

IF YOU LOVE CHERRY PIE, JOANNA GAINES'S CHERRY-ALMOND CRISP IS THE PERFECT DESSERT FOR YOU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and ginger to make the topping.
• Use a pastry cutter to work the butter into the oat mixture until pebbly.
• Gently stir in the almonds. Freeze until needed.
• Butter six 10-ounce ramekins and set them on a rimmed baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, make the filling by stirring together the cherries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and almond extract.
• In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle the mixture over the cherries and toss to coat. Divide among the prepared ramekins.
• Divide the topping among the ramekins, covering the cherries.
• Bake on the baking sheet until the topping is deep golden brown and juices bubble around the edges, about 20 minutes.
• Cool at least 20 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.
• Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to three days.

CHERRY-ALMOND GRANOLA CRISP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread out the cherry halves in the bottom of an 8-inch square (or 9-inch round) baking dish. Set aside.
• In a small saucepan, add the honey, butter and salt. Bring to a foaming boil over medium heat, then cook 3 to 4 minutes until the honey thickens, stirring often so it never burns. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla - it will spatter slightly - then fold in the almonds and oats, continuing to stir until the oats absorb all the honey syrup.
• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

• Bake for about 15 minutes or until bubbly.
• While cooling, whip the cream and vanilla together until stiff.
• Top the crisp with the whipped cream and enjoy!
