Tipsy Grape Crisps with Oat-Pecan Crumble

Look no further for your new favorite autumn dessert. The deep, fruity flavor of kriek lambic, Belgian cherry beer, enhances these luscious crisps. A secret ingredient — five-spice powder — plays beautifully with the sweet fruit. Serve these crisps warm with vanilla ice cream and small glasses of leftover lambic.

Method

Combine grapes, turbinado sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, five-spice powder and salt in a wide, heavy large pot or Dutch oven.


Cover and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until grapes are juicy and softened, about 20 minutes.


Transfer grapes to a colander set over a bowl and drain for at least 15 minutes; discard cinnamon stick.


Return drained juices to the pot.


Boil juices over medium-high heat until thick and syrupy and reduced to about 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.


Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400F.


In a small bowl, stir together beer and cornstarch until smooth, and then whisk into grape syrup.


Boil, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.


Remove from heat and stir grapes into syrup.


Divide filling among 8 (4-ounce) ramekins.


For the topping, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon and salt in a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal.


Add pecans and pulse a few times until nuts are coarsely chopped.


Place the ramekins on a large rimmed baking sheet and divide topping evenly among each ramekin.


Bake until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 15 to 18 minutes.


Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
