Ingredients

Cherry Filling

  • 3 cups pitted tart cherries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup cherry juice or water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch

Oat Topping

  • 3/4 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter softened

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, juice and starch. (Make sure to stir until the starch is well dispersed).
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until bubbly and thickened.
  • Pour the cherry filling into a greased 8x8 baking dish*.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour and brown sugar.
  • Using a fork, mix in the softened butter until nice and crumbly.
  • Sprinkle the oat topping over the cherries and bake for 45-50 minutes.
  • The crisp will be runny right away, but will thicken as it cools. I prefer it best at room temperature with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Notes

*This recipe is easy to double.  Simply use a 9x13 pan, double all ingredients and increase baking time to 50-55 minutes.
