Ingredients

• 6 cups Fresh cherries, pitted
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix until the cherries are well-coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, make the crisp topping by combining the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract over the dry topping mixture. Use a fork to combine the ingredients until a crumbly texture forms.

Step 5

Spread the cherry mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the cherries, ensuring that all areas are covered.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the cherry crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
