Sour Cherry Crisp - Running to the Kitchen

Ingredients

  • 4 cups of sour cherries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for the love of sweetness)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (a little zing never hurt anyone)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to help thicken the cherry goodness)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (the magic dust)
  • 1 cup rolled oats (for that crunchy goodness)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (because why not be a little less basic?)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (the best ingredient in any recipe)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for that warm and cozy feel)
  • A pinch of salt (because you’re not a monster)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (that’s 175°C for my metric friends). It’s time to heat things up!
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sour cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let them mingle for a few minutes while you prepare for the next steps.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until it resembles a crumbly, delightful, almost cookie-like texture!
  4. Spread the cherry mixture evenly in a greased baking dish. Then, sprinkle that glorious crumbly mix all over the cherries like you’re decorating a fancy cake.
  5. Pop that beauty into the oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling like they’re excited for dessert!
  6. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!). Serve warm, maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Yes, please!
