Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt for the topping.
  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sliced almonds. Set the topping aside.
  4. In a separate bowl, gently toss the cherries with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and almond extract to coat them evenly.
  5. Spread the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the oat and almond topping over the cherries.
  7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. You want it warm, not scalding.

Notes

  • If you use frozen cherries, do not thaw them before mixing with the sugar and cornstarch.
  • For an extra flavorful topping, use half whole wheat flour.
  • Serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a true celebration.
