- Dried Cherries
- baking soda
- salt
- milk
How to make this recipe
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spray bottom and sides of loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In large bowl, combine flour, pistachios, brown sugar, dried cherries, salt and baking soda.
- Stir in milk. Spoon batter evenly into prepared pan. The mixture will be thick.
- Bake 60 minutes until golden brown.
- After 30 minutes, remove from the pan.

How to make the Almondia thins, crispy.
- Transfer to freezer and freeze at least 1 hour, but no more than 3 hours.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Use sharp serrated knife to cut loaf into ⅛-inch thick slices. The semi frozen state of the loaf will help keep the cookie from crumbling while being sliced so thinly.
- Arrange slices in single layer on a cookie sheet.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown, flipping halfway through baking. Transfer to cooling rack to cool completely.
- Store at room temperature in airtight container up to 1 week.
How big do I make mini Almondina crips?
There are two options when it comes to the size of your Almondina thins. Use a traditional 9×5 loaf pan to make long fruit and nut crips. Or if you like to make mini almondina fruit and nut thins, use 3 mini loaf pans.
