• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 0.5 cup dried cherries
• 0.25 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
• 1 pinch pinch of salt
• None butter or non-stick cooking spray (to grease the dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 4

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
