Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
- vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until the cherries are evenly coated. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the melted butter into the dry oat mixture and stir with a fork until it forms a crumbly texture.
Transfer the cherry mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the cherries, 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 along the edges.
Remove the cherry crisp from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
