Crisps are a very versatile dessert and can be made with various fruits. It can be said that it is an easier version of fruit pies. Pies require more skill and much more time to put together. The feeling you get when you open the oven to find a crisp top and fruit bubbling underneath is amazing.
Ingredients
All-purpose flour: 6 tablespoons
Light brown sugar: ¼ cup
Granulated sugar: ¼ cup
Ground cinnamon: ¼ teaspoon
Salt: ¼ teaspoon
Cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces: 5 tablespoons
Pecans, finely chopped: ¾ cup
Fresh cherries, pitted: 6 cups
Granulated sugar: 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch: 1 tablespoon
Amaretto: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
Preheat your oven for 15 minutes on 375 degrees. Put the oven rack in the lower middle position. Start by working on the topping. Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, salt and flour.
With the help of your fingers, break the butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. It should have a crumbly appearance.
Sprinkle the pecans in the mixture and rotate the bowl so that they distribute evenly in the topping. Put the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes.
As the mixture is chilling in the refrigerator, start working on the cherries.
Take a small baking dish, about 8x8 inch and mix amaretto, corn-starch and sugar with the cherries. Spread the cherries evenly in the dish and top it with the crumbled mixture.
Bake the dish for 40 minutes. Then increase the temperature to 400 degrees. Let it bake till the topping has deep brown golden colour, the cherries should be bubbling in the bottom.
This will take around 5 minutes on the increased temperature. It is delicious either served warm or at room temperature.
