Ingredients
Almond crisp topping
- ½ cup toasted almonds
- ¾ cup (94 grams) all purpose flour
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (48 grams) brown sugar unpacked
- 1 pinch salt
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, cut into ½ inch cubes
Rainier cherries
- 2 cups Rainier cherries, pitted and halved
- ¼ cup (50 grams or 1.8 ounces) granulated sugar use more or less depending on the sweetness of your Rainier cherries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
Instructions
Almond crisp topping
- Using a food processor, pulse the nuts about 10 times until chopped. Empty about half of the nuts into a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the flour, sugars, and salt to the food processor and process until fine.
- Add the butter and pulse until the butter has been chopped to the size of small peas and the mixture clumps together between your fingers.
- Add the mixture to the bowl with the nuts and mix.
Cup of Yum
Rainier cherry crisp
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Mix the cut cherries, sugar, lemon juice, and almond extract in a small bowl or directly in the baking dish.
- Crumble small handfuls of crisp topping over the cherries in the baking dish.
- Bake until the topping has browned and the cherries are bubbling thickly, about 40 minutes. Cover with foil if the topping is browning before the cherries are bubbling.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- This recipe will make lots of extra almond crisp topping. Just store the extra in a freezer bag for up to 6 months for future fruit crisps.
- If you want to make this Rainier cherry crisp for more people, estimate 1 cup of fruit per person or perhaps less if you are serving with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.
- Rainier cherries can vary quite a bit in their sweetness. If yours are quite sweet, you might consider reducing the sugar in half.
