Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or similar-sized container, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the cherries evenly. Set the dish aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract (if using) into the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the cherries in the microwave-safe dish, ensuring full coverage of the fruit layer.
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 4–5 minutes, or until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is golden and crisp.
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.
Allow the cherry crisp to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
