Ingredients
- 600 grams sweet cherries, pitted (fresh or frozen)
- 80 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams desiccated coconut
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 100 grams cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 50 grams rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish with butter or a light coat of oil.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix well so the cherries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Mix the flour, desiccated coconut, light brown sugar, and rolled oats.
Step 4
Add the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherry mixture in the baking dish, ensuring the cherries are completely covered.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of custard for extra indulgence.
