1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Wash the persimmons and remove any remaining leaves/stems. Quarter the fruit and cut them into thin slices – place everything in a baking dish or ovenproof pan. Combine the juice and zest of the organic orange, the brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the persimmon slices and then bake the fruit in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes.

2. While the fruit is in the oven, prepare the streusel topping. Combine flour, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the melted butter and mix to get different-sized streusels. If the mixture seems too wet, add a little more flour and mix in. Add the slivered almonds and mix in.

3. Remove the baking dish/pan with the fruit from the oven (be careful, it will be very hot!) and distribute the streusels evenly on top. If you like, you can also sprinkle some brown sugar over the streusels for some additional crunch (optional). Return everything to the oven and bake the cobbler for another 23-26 minutes, or until the streusels have a nice golden color. Remove the cobbler from the oven and let cool down slightly before serving. The cobbler is great when slightly warm, along with vanilla custard or some vanilla ice cream.
