Ingredients

Cherry Filling Ingredients

12 ounces frozen dark sweet cherries
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Crisp Topping Ingredients

¾ cup old-fashioned oats
¾ cup flour
⅓ cup light brown sugar
½ cup butter melted
¼ cup sliced almonds optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°. Grease an 8×8 pan with butter. Place the cherries in a medium-sized bowl and sprinkle with the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Stir to coat the fruit and drizzle with almond extract and lemon juice. Set aside while assembling the topping.
In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and almonds, if desired. Add the butter and stir with a fork until crumbs form. Transfer the cherry mixture into the greased pan and sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the fruit.
Bake for 25-28 minutes, until the crisp topping, has browned and the fruit liquids are bubbling. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
