Fresh Cherry Crisp
Description
This crisp starts with a topping of quick oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and melted butter combined to create a clumpy dough that crisps in the oven. The filling consists of sour cherries tossed with granulated sugar and flour to thicken the juices released during baking.
The cherries are portioned into ramekins covered with the oat topping and baked until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbly. The oats add a toasted texture, while the brown sugar and butter enrich the topping with caramel notes.
The dessert balances tartness from the fresh cherries with sweetness and a warm, crispy texture on top. It is baked at moderate temperature to allow the fruit to cook through while crisping the topping evenly. The recipe can be doubled to bake in a standard 9x13-inch pan, making it easy to adjust for more servings.
Ingredients
- ½ cup oats quick cooking
- ½ cup all-purpose flour divided, plus 2 tablespoons
- ⅛ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup butter melted
- 2 cups sour cherries pitted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray four ramekins with non-stick cooking spray.
- Combine oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, baking powder and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Whisk together well to evenly combine.
- Add brown sugar and melted butter to the flour mixture and mix well to form a clumpy dough. Set aside.
- In another bowl combine pitted cherries, granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Mix well so the cherries are coated with the flour and sugar. Divide them between the four sprayed ramekins.
- Cover cherries with crisp topping, dividing it evenly between the four ramekins.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until crisp topping is golden brown.
