Ingredients

• 4 cups Pitted cherries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 1 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the cherry filling evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are evenly moistened and form a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cherry filling in the baking dish.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.

Step 7

Remove the cherry crunch from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
