Raspberry Pluot Crisp with Coconut Streusel
Iain Bagwell
We couldn’t resist loading up on multiple kinds of seeds—plus nuts and coconut—to create this crunchy, addictive streusel. For the filling, Flavor King pluots, which ripen in late summer, are one of our favorites, rich, floral, and musky. To keep the juicy filling from spilling into the oven as it bubbles and thickens, set a baking sheet on the rack below (not directly underneath the crisp, or it won’t bake evenly).
How to Make It
1
Preheat oven to 350°. Make filling: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, tapioca, and cornstarch. Stir in vanilla, then very gently stir in pluots and raspberries. Let stand 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, for tapioca to begin to soften. Transfer to a shallow 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-qt. baking dish, such as a 9- by 13-in. one.
2
Meanwhile, make streusel: In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, coconut, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and salt. Stir in vanilla and lemon zest. With your fingers, squeeze and rub butter into seed mixture until butter is completely blended and coarse lumps form. Scatter streusel over filling.
3
Bake until streusel is deep golden brown in center and filling starts to bubble in center, about 50 minutes. Let cool on a rack at least 1 hour.
