Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cups rolled oats
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0 vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix well to evenly coat the cherries. Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 3

In another mixing bowl, make the topping by combining rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, chopped nuts, melted butter, and cinnamon. Mix until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture forms a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Evenly sprinkle the oat and nut topping over the cherry mixture in the baking dish, making sure to cover the fruit layer completely.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Remove the cherry nut crisp from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. The filling will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 7

Optional: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
