Almond Fruit Crisp Recipes

Steps:

• Crumble: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush an 8-inch baking dish with melted unsalted butter. Pulse 1/2 cup rolled oats in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer to a bowl; stir in 1 more cup oats, 1/2 cup sliced raw almonds, 1/4 cup light-brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 6 tablespoons melted butter.
• Filling: In another bowl, gently combine all ingredients and a pinch of salt.
• Transfer filling to prepared dish. Sprinkle top with oat mixture; bake until bubbling around edges and top is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes; serve with plain yogurt.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the crisp: Mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender, 2 knives or a food processor, cut in the butter. Stir in the oats.
• For the fruit: Toss the fruit with the cornstarch, granulated sugar as needed and the lemon zest if using.
• Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish and top with the crisp mixture. Bake until the middle is warmed through and the top is crispy and golden brown, 50 to 55 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• For Fruit:
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Generously butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine all ingredients in large bowl; toss to blend. Let stand 15 minutes, tossing occasionally. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake until fruit is tender and juices bubble thickly, about 50 minutes. Cool in dish. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• For Topping
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Place almonds in medium bowl. Sprinkle with almond extract; toss to coat. Mix in flour, brown sugar, oats and salt. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Sprinkle topping over fruit. Bake until fruit is heated through and topping is golden brown and firm to touch, about 25 minutes. Serve crisp warm with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk brown sugar, butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Mix in oats and almonds.
• Drop mixture by level tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Spray the underside of a metal spatula with nonstick cooking spray, and use to flatten cookies into 2 1/2-inch disks.
• Bake until golden, 14 to 16 minutes. Cool completely on baking sheets. (Handle with care; cookies are fragile.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites. Beat on medium speed until thick, about 3 minutes. Beat in extracts.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls, and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball with dampened fingers, and gently press 2 sliced almonds on top.
• Bake until just brown on top, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and place on a wire rack for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove cookies from baking sheet while still warm, and place on a wire rack to cool.
