Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherries (pitted, fresh or frozen)
- 3 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 0.33 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
- n/a vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch or similar-sized baking dish lightly with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, sliced apples, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Mix well to coat the fruit evenly with the sugar and flour.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Stir together to mix the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the oat mixture. Use a pastry cutter, two knives, or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the fruit mixture in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the Cherry Apple Crisp from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
