Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup of packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 6 cups of Fuyu persimmons, thinly sliced after being peeled
  • 10 crushed graham crackers (about 10 crackers)
  • 1/4 cup of melted butter

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to create a warm and cozy atmosphere for baking. In a small bowl, mix together the delightful combination of brown sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch, and a touch of sea salt, blending them harmoniously.

Step 2

Next, take half of the luscious persimmons and arrange them in an inviting 8-inch deep pie plate, sprinkling them with half of the sugar mixture to enhance their natural sweetness. Repeat this process with the remaining persimmons and sugar mixture, creating layers of flavor.

Step 3

While the persimmons rest, prepare a delectable graham cracker crust by combining crumbs with melted butter until a delightful mixture forms. Gently spread this buttery crust over the persimmons, ensuring a perfect balance of textures.

Step 4

Now, let the magic happen in the oven as you bake this delightful creation until the crust turns a glorious golden brown and the persimmons reach a tender perfection, typically around 45 minutes. Once ready, serve this delectable dish warm, allowing its flavors to truly shine.
