Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams cherries (pitted and fresh or frozen)
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams ground almonds
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 30 grams sliced almonds
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Place the pitted cherries in an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the granulated sugar on top and drizzle with almond extract. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and, using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Evenly distribute the crumb mixture over the cherries in the dish.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the crumble for added crunch and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cherry juices are bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
