Mini Cherry Crumbles Recipes

MINI CHERRY CRUMBLES

Steps:

• Special equipment: eight 4-ounce ceramic or foil ramekins
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the cherries with the granulated sugar, grated ginger, lemon juice and cornstarch in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture evenly between eight 4-ounce ramekins. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the ramekins on top.
• For the crumble: Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a medium bowl until evenly mixed. Stir in the molasses. Add the butter and use your fingers to lightly knead the mixture until it is crumbly and the dry ingredients are fully incorporated into the butter.
• Top the ramekins evenly with the crumbs. Bake until the crumbs are crisp and toasted and the cherry mixture is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

MINI CHERRY COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), with a rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place eight 6-ounce round or oval baking dishes on it.
• For the drop biscuits: In a food processor, pulse together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the butter and pulse until it's well incorporated -- the mixture should look like coarse meal.
• In a container with a spout (such as a 2-cup liquid measuring cup), whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla. Pour the mixture into the food processor and pulse just until the dough comes together.
• For the mini cherry cobblers: In a small bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour. In a large bowl, toss the cherries with the lemon juice, then add the sugar mixture and toss to coat the fruit. Divide the cherries evenly among the baking dishes.
• Divide the biscuit dough into 8 equal pieces. Crumble a piece of dough evenly over the surface of each dish of fruit. Brush the topping with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the cobblers until the topping is golden brown (the fruit may bubble up around the edges a bit), 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
