Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the pitted cherries in an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the granulated sugar on top and drizzle with almond extract. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and a pinch of salt.

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and, using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the crumb mixture over the cherries in the dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of the crumble for added crunch and flavor.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the cherry juices are bubbling.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
