CHERRY CRISP 2

This is an adaptation of a recipe given to us by Marisa Getz, a wonderful Arizona-based, pastry chef with roots in Colorado's cherry country. We've made this dish with Bing cherries and Montmorency (sour cherries). We prefer to serve crisps in individual ramekins.

Serves 4


Ingredients
2 cups pitted cherries (slice Bings in half)
4 tablespoons superfine sugar
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 scant tablespoons sliced almonds


Directions
Heat the oven to 375°F

In a small bowl, combine the cherries, sugar, flour, orange zest, and vanilla extract. Divide among four ramekins.

For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cut in the butter. Scatter the topping on top of the cherries. Sprinkle each ramekin with 1 tablespoon of almonds.

Bake for about 30 minutes, until the topping is just brown and the cherry juice is bubbling through.
