Cardamom Fruit Crisp Recipes

CARDAMOM APPLE CRISP WITH CARAMEL CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square baking dish with shortening or cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, toss apples with 1/3 cup of the brown sugar. Spread apples in dish. In another bowl, stir remaining 2/3 cup brown sugar, the flour, oats, cardamom and cinnamon until well mixed. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over apples.
• Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with fork. Cool 45 minutes before serving.
• In chilled large deep bowl, beat whipping cream and caramel topping with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve caramel cream with warm crisp. Drizzle with additional caramel topping, if desired.

CARDAMOM SUGAR CRISPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. On low speed, beat in flour, salt, cardamom and cinnamon. Refrigerate dough about 1 hour or until firm.
• Shape dough into 1-inch balls. On ungreased cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart. Gently press bottom of drinking glass onto dough to grease, then press into granulated sugar and onto dough balls to flatten to about 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are just beginning to brown and centers of cookies are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool 10 minutes.
• In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough of the milk until glaze is smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies; sprinkle with sugar crystals.

PLUM-CARDAMOM CRUMBLE WITH PISTACHIOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss plums, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. cardamom in a large bowl; let sit until some juices accumulate, 5-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pulse flour and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. cardamom in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture is very sandy and starts to form larger clumps.
• Transfer plums and their juices to a 9"-diameter deep pie dish (all of those fruit juices will overflow a standard one) or an 8x8x2" baking dish. Scatter topping over fruit, squeezing small fistfuls in your hand to bring it together, then breaking into smaller pieces of varying sizes. Sprinkle pistachios evenly over topping.
• Bake crumble until juices are thickened and bubbling and top is golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Let cool slightly.

APPLE CARDAMOM CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Position oven rack in the center. Grease a 9 x 13-inch pan or large round ramekin.
• Peel and core apples. Slice into think ¼-inch slices and place in a medium bowl. Toss apples with brown sugar, cardamom, ginger, lemon zest, and juice and cornstarch. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the topping ingredients except the butter. Using your fingertips, work the butter into the topping and break until the mixture resembles wet sand.
• Toss the apples with a cup of the topping and place in a prepared pan. Scatter the rest of the topping on top of the apples evenly.
• Bake until topping is toasted and filling is bubbling, 50-55 minutes. Let cool before serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

CARDAMOM APPLE CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C
• Scatter the apple slices into your ovenproof dish, drizzle with honey, pour over the apple juice and sprinkle over the cardamom.
• Add all the ingredients for the oat topping to a bowl and stir well to combine. Spoon onto the fruit filling.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes. Keep a watch after 20 minutes for any signs of burning. If the top is looking as though it could burn but the apples aren't softened, loosely place a piece of aluminium foil over the dish and bake until done.

BERRY-ALMOND CRISP WITH CARDAMOM CUSTARD

• Combine filling ingredients in another bowl. Pour filling into a 9-inch pie dish and sprinkle with topping.

CARDAMOM-SCENTED PEAR CRISP

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square or round baking dish with a little butter. Cream the 4 tablespoons butter, oil, and sugar together using an electric mixer or fork. Stir in the nuts, lemon juice, oats, flour, and salt until combined and crumbly. (You can make the topping ahead to this point; tightly wrap, and refrigerate for up to a day or freeze for up to several weeks; thaw before proceeding.)
• 2. Put the pears in the prepared dish, sprinkle with the cardamom, and toss. Crumble the topping over all. Bake until the filling is bubbly and the crust is just starting to brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve immediately, or at least while still warm.
