Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh cherries, pitted
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix until the cherries are well-coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
In a separate medium bowl, make the crisp topping by combining the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the dry topping mixture. Use a fork to combine the ingredients until a crumbly texture forms.
Spread the cherry mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the cherries, ensuring that all areas are covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling around the edges.
Remove the cherry crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
