Warm Black Cherry Crisp
Servings 4 to 6
Ingredients
- Special equipment: 4 x 9-oz. oval cast iron mini-servers.
- (If unavailable use a well-seasoned 10” cast iron skillet instead:
- Ingredients:
- 4½ cup frozen black cherries thawed and chopped
- ¼ cup maple syrup preferably local
- ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground cloves
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- Topping Ingredients:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- ⅓ cup maple syrup preferably local
- 5 tbsp coconut oil melted, divided
- 1/8 tsp. table salt
Instructions
- Place top oven rack in the center position and pre-heat oven to 350°F.
- Remove from oven and set a side to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Combine thawed chopped cherries, maple syrup, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and thyme leaves in a bowl. Toss to combine and set aside.
- Combine rolled oats, almond flour, pecans, maple syrup, three tablespoons melted coconut oil, and salt in a separate bowl and stir until oats are thoroughly coated and all ingredients are well combined. Set aside.
- Lightly grease the four 9-oz. oval cast iron baking dishes (or the 10” cast iron skillet) with remaining coconut oil.
- Divide the cherry mixture equally among the cast iron mini-servers and spread into an even layer. Divide the topping between the 4 mini-servers, as well, and spread into a thin layer on top.
- Place into pre-heated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is nicely browned and the cherry mixture is nice and bubbly.
- Tip: If using a 10” skillet, cover loosely with aluminum foil after 30minutes and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
