Sour Cherry Pistachio Crisp

Sour Cherry Pistachio Crisp

Turns out that I am moving in just a few weeks. With that in mind the chest freezer has to be emptied in order to defrost it and to be ready for the move.

Stored safely at the bottom of my freezer are several pounds of sour cherries that I purchased and pitted last summer.  Carefully holding for special occasions!

This evening we are invited to a friends place for dinner and we did insist that we bring dessert. So sour cherries are the choice. Yes! 2 more pounds removed from the freezer!

3 Years ago I discovered a recipe by Martha Stewart and I have jumped off from there.

For tonight's Sour Cherry Pistachio Crisp I used:

2 Pounds Frozen Pitted Sour Cherries
1/2 Cup Chopped Pistachios
1/2 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons of All Purpose flour
1/3 Cup Large Flake Oats
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/4 Teaspoon of Salt
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted
3 Tablespoons Whey Low Gold Sugar
3/4 Cup Whey Low Granular Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
Pinch of Ground Cinnamon

Other Special Equipment:
Disposable 8" Foil Pan with lid - to leave behind.
