Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams Fresh cherries, pitted
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 90 grams Butter, cold and cubed
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat the cherries evenly, then set aside.
In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Mix the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, almond flour, and salt together.
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Transfer the cherry mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the cherries, ensuring an even layer that fully covers the fruit.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
