Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, orange zest, orange juice, and cornstarch. Stir well to coat the cherries evenly. Transfer this mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract into the dry topping mixture. Mix until crumbly and fully incorporated.
Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the cherry mixture in the baking dish, making sure to cover all the fruit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the Cherry Orange Crisp to cool slightly for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence!
