Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1 cup dried cherries
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or an equivalent-sized baking dish and set it aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the fresh cherries, dried cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir well to evenly coat the cherries and set aside to macerate while preparing the crumble topping.
In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by mixing together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry topping mixture, and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cherry filling, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the crumble from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
