Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir until the cherries are evenly coated. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted butter into the dry oat mixture and stir with a fork until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 5

Transfer the cherry mixture to a 9-inch square baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the cherries, ensuring the entire surface is covered.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
