Ingredients

• 2 cups cherries (pitted and halved)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, prepare the crumb topping by mixing the flour, cold cubed butter, brown sugar, and rolled oats. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to create a crumbly texture. Set aside.

Step 4

In a greased 8x8-inch baking dish, spread half of the halved cherries evenly across the bottom.

Step 5

Dollop the cream cheese mixture over the cherries, spreading it carefully with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 6

Add the remaining halved cherries on top of the cream cheese layer.

Step 7

Sprinkle the prepared crumb topping evenly over the cherries.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Optionally, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
