Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen cherries pitted
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch to thicken the cherry filling
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and diced
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to bake your cherry crumble.

Prepare the Cherry Filling:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the cherries evenly. Once well mixed, pour this cherry mixture into a buttered baking dish. This will be the fruity base of your crumble.

Make the Crumble Topping:

  • In another bowl, mix together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Then, add the cold, diced butter and rub it into the mixture using your fingertips or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Make sure to leave some larger pieces for extra texture!

Assemble the Crumble:

  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cherry mixture in the baking dish. Make sure the cherries are well covered for a crunchy topping.

Bake:

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges. Your kitchen will smell absolutely divine!

Cool and Serve:

  • Once baked, carefully remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. Enjoy!

Notes

This cherry crumble features a luscious, juicy cherry base topped with a buttery, crumbly topping. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
