Cherry Almond Crumble Recipes

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:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Roll out pie crust and lay into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Combine almonds, brown sugar, oats, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Work butter into the almond mixture with your fingers, breaking up any large pieces, until incorporated completely. Cover and chill for 15 minutes.
• Combine cherries, lemon juice, white sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until well coated and no dry lumps remain, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Pour cherries and any accumulated juices into the prepared pie pan. Press down into the pan. Crumble oat mixture over the top. Place the pan on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cherries are bubbling and the crust and crumble topping are browned, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let cool completely.

Steps:

• Almond Crumble
• Blend all of the ingredients together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until the mixture becomes crumbly. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Dot the top of the mixture with the butter. Cover with the almond crumble and bake until golden brown and bubbly, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Whipped Ricotta
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the ricotta with the lemon juice, vanilla, and salt until light and smooth. Serve alongside the warm crumble.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Cherry filling:.
• Heat oven to 400.
• Spray 4 (8 ounce) ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray, or use an 8 x 8 inch baking dish, like I did.
• Stir pie filling, preserves, dried cherries, and almond extract in a large bowl to combine.
• Spoon mixture into ramekins (or baking dish), and place on baking sheet.
• Crumble topping:.
• Toss oats, brown sugar, almonds and cinnamon in medium bowl to combine.
• Note: I used slivered almonds instead of sliced one, and it worked just fine.
• Drizzle melted butter over the topping mix; stir to moisten.
• Sprinkle over cherry mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until topping is golden and fruit filling bubbles.
• Serve warm with cool whip or sour cream.

Steps:

• Tip the cherries into a medium-sized ovenproof dish (around 28cm) and mix with the sugar, lemon and vanilla. Set aside.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour and butter into a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips to create a fine, breadcrumb-like mixture. Stir through the salt, brown sugar, oats and most of the almonds. Tip over the cherry mixture, then top with the remaining almonds.
• Bake the crumble in the centre of the oven for 30-35 mins or until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
