Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted and halved cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the cherries evenly and set aside for the juices to blend.
In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping by whisking together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients for the topping. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until you achieve a crumbly texture.
Stir the rolled oats and vanilla extract into the crumb mixture until well distributed.
Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the cherries, ensuring an even layer across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
