    Sour Cherry Crumble

    Why mess with a classic? Why not? Topping this sour crumble with almond steusel gives it a nuttiness and using ricotta serves as a tangy substitute for whipped cream.

    Pumpkin-Pear Crisps

    Pumpkin in desserts shouldn't be a pie-only territory. Use pumpkin in two different forms (seeds in the streusel and slices in the filling) to make this hearty and ready-for-fall cobbler.

    Mixed-Berry Oatmeal Crisps

    The berry filling here thickens up with a little cornstarch. For the final piece, top the warm dishes off with vanilla ice cream after they're out of the oven. It won't last long enough to melt.
