Strawberry Rhubarb Amaretti Crisp
Fruit filling:
1 quart strawberries, washed, hulled, quartered, patted dry
1 pound rhubarb cut into 1 inch pieces (~ 3 1/2 cups)
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Amaretti topping:
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup toasted almonds
1 2/3 cups coarsely crushed amaretti cookies
Preheat oven to 350° F and place oven rack in center of oven. Lightly butter
a shallow, 2-quart baking dish.
To make fruit filling, in a large mixing bowl combine strawberries, rhubarb,
and lemon juice. Sprinkle with sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon, toss until
evenly covered. Pour fruit mix into prepared baking dish.
For the amaretti topping, in a large mixing bowl combine the butter, flour,
and sugar with a hand-held pastry blender. Add butter, toasted almonds, and
crushed cookies. Mix well.
Spread amaretti topping over fruit filling. Bake in 350° F oven 40-45
minutes or until fruit is bubbly. Rhubarb will be tender when pierced. If
topping becomes too brown before rhubarb is done, cover lightly with foil.
Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
Serves 8.
