Rustic Quince and Sour Cherry Crumble
Tart cherries balance the sweet, slightly spiced quince in this homey dessert.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: about 1 cup)
Ingredients
- Filling:
- 4 cups chopped Poached Quinces (about 16 quince quarters)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can pitted tart cherries in water, drained
- Cooking spray
-
Topping: - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (about 3 1/3 ounces)
- 1/4 cup regular oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°.
To prepare filling, combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl, tossing well. Spoon into an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
To prepare topping, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Place flour, oats, 2 tablespoons sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse until just combined. Add butter; process until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Squeeze handfuls of topping to form large pieces; crumble evenly over filling. Bake at 375° for 40 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping begins to brown.

This a great dessert for fall. I had never had quince before, with the exception of a jam, so I didn't know what to expect. Similar texture to pears and apples, the crumble was great. The addition of cherries did provide a nice contrast between sweet and tart. Making the poached quinces fragrances the entire house. I didn't have any on hand, but this would be great with vanilla ice cream.10/22/06
