Ingredients
- 2 cups cherries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or similar-sized container, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the cherries evenly. Set the dish aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract (if using) into the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.
Step 4
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the cherries in the microwave-safe dish, ensuring full coverage of the fruit layer.
Step 5
Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 4–5 minutes, or until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is golden and crisp.
Step 6
Carefully remove the dish from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.
Step 7
Allow the cherry crisp to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
