Cherry Crisp
Cherry Crisp has a crunchy, buttery oat topping covering a simple tart cherry filling. Top with a scoop of ice cream and this is sure to become one of your favorite cherry desserts!
Ingredients
Cherry Filling
- 3 c pitted tart cherries
- ½ c sugar
- ¼ c cherry juice or water
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
Oat Topping
- ¾ c quick oats
- ¼ c flour
- ⅓ c packed brown sugar
- ¼ c 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!
