Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
2
In a large bowl, toss together the cherries along with the maple syrup, lemon juice, cornstarch, vanilla, and almond extract. Pour the cherry mixture and all of it’s juices into your prepared baking dish.
3
In another bowl, mix together the crumble topping: rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, butter, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the cherries in the baking dish.
4
Bake for 30-35 minutes so that the cherries are nice and tender and the crumble topping is lightly browned. Let cool slightly. Serve (preferably with vanilla ice cream!) and ENJOY!
Notes
1
I used tart cherries, but any cherries work in this recipe. Tart cherries are very seasonal and can only be found for a few weeks out of the year. Tart cherries aren’t great for snacking, but they’re perfect in baked goods and great for crisp and pie.

Storage Instructions – Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F until warmed through, or microwave individual portions.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Thicken Cherry Filling Perfectly 🍒Toss your cherries with cornstarch and a splash of lemon juice 15 minutes before baking to draw out natural juices and create a perfectly thick filling without a gummy texture.
- Toast Your Oat Topping 🌟Pre-toast the rolled oats and oat flour in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before mixing with butter and brown sugar to deepen their nutty flavor and ensure a crispier, golden finish.
- Use Vegan Butter Correctly ❄️Keep your vegan butter cold and cut it into small cubes before mixing with dry ingredients to create distinct pockets that yield a flaky, crisp topping rather than a dense crust.
- Balance Your Extract Flavors 🎯Use almond extract sparingly (¼ teaspoon) as it's potent and pairs beautifully with cherries, while vanilla extract complements the oats—tasting as you go prevents overpowering the dessert.
- Bake Until Golden, Not Brown 🔔Watch for the topping to turn golden amber with visible bubbling fruit at the edges; removing it 2-3 minutes earlier than you think necessary prevents over-browning while maintaining the ideal contrast between juicy filling and crispy topping.
