Day 224: Big Salad with Grilled Raspberry Chicken and Plum & Browned Butter Bliss
Bookmark this page. Seriously, do it now, before you forget.
I wasn’t sure what to call this. Technically it’s more cake than pie, but calling it cake doesn’t do justice to a pieplateload of juicy fruit topped with a sweet, crunchy topping; it’s not a pie either – it has no pastry but is baked in a pie plate and cut into wedges. The fruit-topping ratio is reminiscent of a crumble or a cobbler, but this is easier than any of the above. I could go as far as to call it foolproof.
Generally I don’t make dessert on a regular Monday night, but I had bought red and yellow plums on the weekend with something specific in mind – cobbler? Pie? Upside down cake? It was something, but today I had no idea what it was, and flipping through the rained-on-and-dried-out magazines on my front step gave no clues. Also, I happened to have whipping cream in the fridge, which almost never happens. So I couldn’t really not make something out of the plums.
I picked up one of my favourite cookbooks, Classic Home Desserts by Richard Sax (a cookbook Mike bought me literally decades ago just because he knew I liked cooking), and flipped through to a recipe I was instantly drawn to years ago, probably because the intro begins with: “Stick a bookmark right here, and leave it in.” It’s called Ligita’s Quick Apple Cake (pg. 383), but it doesn’t need apples. Richard describes it as a “custardy batter quickly poured over apples and baked to a crusty gold.” I wouldn’t describe it as custardy, but would zero in on the browned butter – a simple step that intensifies the nutty buttery flavour a thousandfold. (I cut the butter by a third to 1/2 cup, and will likely try to reduce it a bit more next time, although it undoubtedly contributes to its crunchy, buttery bliss. I would have licked out the butter-melting pot if I wasn’t afraid of burning off my tastebuds.)
That’s it: I’ll call it Browned Butter Bliss. Today, Plum Browned Butter Bliss. This is one of those great go-to recipes that you could use with apples, pears, plums, peaches, berries, apricots, cherries… really anything that needs to be turned into something any time of year. I love the combination of sweet crunch on top and juicy sourness underneath, and the look of both yellow and red plums together.
Oh right, dinner. It seems uneventful after the Bliss – a big salad yukaflux with roasted beets, blueberries, peas from the garden and grilled chicken which I painted with some of the raspberry vinaigrette leftover from last weekend before I grilled it. It sounds much fancier than it actually was.
But seriously – Browned Butter Bliss. Once you make it, it will turn into one of those things that you stir together on autopilot whenever you need something fruity and delicious.

Preheat the oven to 350°F and butter a pie plate.
Toss your fruit in a bowl (or the pie plate) with about 2 Tbsp. sugar and the cinnamon; spread into the plate. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and keep cooking it, swirling the pan occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until it turns golden. Pour into a bowl.
Stir the 3/4 cup of sugar into the butter, then the eggs, then the flour. Pour over the fruit and sprinkle with the last tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, until golden and crusty, and the juices ooze from around the edges. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or thick vanilla yogurt.

This dessert looks really good and I have saved it but what I wanted to say is that last night I made the roasted chick peas and chard recipe from a few nights ago. FABULOUS. I had rainbow chard that I bought Friday at the Calgary Farmers’ Market and had to use it. I didn’t have the garlic head but used what was left in the jar of crushed garlic in the fridge. Fresh beans, new potatoes and a little bit of steak made a great supper. Not bad for a Monday night. Thanks for all these great and unique recipes Julie. I’m also lucky that my husband will try anything.
You are my husbands favorite person in the world today. This apple bliss was incredible. REALLY INCREDIBLE. The last slice just disappeared. 🙂 YUM
This was so good. I used up small amounts of raspberries, cherries, nectarine and fresh figs. It took 10 minutes to prepare! I took it to work the next morning and everyone raved. Thanks for yet another great recipe.
This dessert was amazing! It has become our favorite, we have made it using many different kinds of fruit. Today my 10yr old son and I made it with the blackberries we picked this afternoon…YUM!!
Thanks for sharing your kitchen with us, I look forward to logging in every Sunday night.

I just made the apple variant of this– I bet it’s even better with plums! This was really easy, and quite tasty.
I made this over the weekend and blogged about it today. So yummy. Thanks for sharing!
I made this for my husband last night. I made it last year and I don’t know where I went wrong but he didn’t like it. Last night it got rave reviews. Both times I used apples.
I will definitely make it again, it is so easy and rave reviews are always worth including it in the dessert rotation.
