CHERRY-ALMOND BREAKFAST COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch glass baking pan.
• Mix oats, almond flour, flax meal, sliced almonds, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well combined.
• Whisk melted butter, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and almond extract in a small bowl or measuring cup until thoroughly combined and no lumps of yogurt remain. Add wet ingredients to dry, and stir until mixture is well combined. Set aside.
• Place frozen cherries into the prepared baking pan. Add 1/3 cup maple syrup, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to combine until there are no dry clumps of cornstarch remaining. Spread cherry mixture evenly into the pan.
• Use a small measuring cup or ice cream scoop to place 9 even dollops of the oat mixture on top of the cherries.
• Bake in the preheated oven until topping in browned and cherries are bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Tent the pan with aluminum foil if the topping begins to brown too quickly. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving; the filling will thicken as it cools.

CHERRY ALMOND CRISP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Start with the crumb mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg.
• Cut the cold butter into pieces. Add the butter to the bowl and use a fork or pastry blender to cut it into the flour mixture. The mixture should resemble a moist, coarse meal. Add the slivered almonds and combine thoroughly.
• Place the still-frozen cherries in a bowl, add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch and almond extract and gently stir the cherries to combine.
• Divide the cherries between 8 ramekins (about 1/2 cup each). Top with the crumb mixture, evening out the surface.
• Bake until the topping is crisp and golden brown, about 45 minutes. If the topping appears underdone, continue baking in 10 minute increments until it's done.
• To serve: Add the heavy cream and granulated sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
• Serve the individual crisps warm or at room temperature with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

VEGAN CHERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND BISCUIT TOPPING

Steps:

• Scant tablespoon vegan raw, turbinado or granulated sugar, for sprinkling
• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, put about a 9-inch piece of foil on a rack below it and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the filling: Whisk the granulated sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the cherries and their juices and toss to coat the berries well; stir in the lemon juice and almond extract. Pour the mixture into an 8-inch square, 9-by-2-inch round or other 2-quart baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake until very hot and beginning to bubble around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. (The colder your cherries, the longer it will take.)
• For the topping: While the berries cook (about 20 minutes into the baking time is fine), whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Stir the coconut oil and almond extract into the measuring cup or bowl with the cashew milk. Add it to the flour mixture and toss with a fork, then stir with a spatula or wooden spoon to make a cohesive dough.
• Carefully remove the filling from the oven, remove the foil and give the mixture a good stir. Working quickly, drop 8 to 10 spoonfuls of topping over the filling, making sure a few of them touch the edges of the dish, sprinkle with the raw sugar and bake until the topping is golden brown and crisp and a skewer inserted in a few biscuits comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Let the cobbler cool about 30 minutes, during which time it will thicken up a bit, then divide among bowls and serve.

• Drop spoonfuls of the mixture across the cherries, and bake for 22 to 25 minutes or until the almonds are almost a mahogany brown and the cherries are tender and juicy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes, so the granola hardens slightly, then serve with yogurt.

CHERRY COBBLER WITH ALMOND-BUTTERMILK TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish. Place the cherries in a large bowl, and add the sugar, lemon juice and all-purpose flour. Carefully mix them together with a rubber spatula or a large spoon until the sugar and flour have dissolved into the liquids. Transfer to the baking dish, making sure to scrape out all of the liquid in the bowl.
• Sift all of the dry ingredients for the topping. If some of the cornmeal and almond flour remain in the sifter, just dump it into the bowl with the sifted flours. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and pulse a few times. Add the butter, and pulse to cut in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse cornmeal. Turn on the food processor, and pour in the buttermilk with the machine running. As soon as the dough comes together, stop the machine.
• Spoon the topping over the cherries by the heaped tablespoon. The cherries should be just about covered but may peek out here and there. Place in the oven, and bake 35 to 40 minutes until the top is nicely browned and the cherries are bubbling. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool to warm before serving. Serve warm (heat in a low oven for 15 minutes if necessary before serving).
