Sour CherryPistachio Crisp
- 1 3/4 pounds pitted fresh or frozen sour cherries
- 1/2 cup chopped unsalted pistachios
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Pinch of ground cinnamon
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- If using frozen cherries, spread them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Let stand at room temperature until cherries have thawed almost completely but still hold their shape, about 30 minutes.
- Drain off any accumulated liquid.
- Whisk together the pistachios, flour, oats, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Put the butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy.
- Stir the pistachio mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
- Work the mixture through your fingers until it forms coarse crumbs ranging in size from small peas to gumballs; set the topping aside.
- Stir together the cherries, remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
- Transfer the cherry mixture to an 8-inch-square baking dish.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cherry mixture.
- Bake until the topping turns golden and the juices are bubbling, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
- Let cool on a wire rack 1 hour before serving.
- To pit a cherry and keep the stem intact, reach for a clean paperclip.
- Unfold the clip at its center; depending on the size of the cherry, insert either the large or the small end of the paper clip through the bottom of the cherry.
- Loosen the pit and pull it out.
