Ingredients

2 ½ pounds - cherries*
¼ cup - maple syrup
2 tablespoons - lemon juice
1 tbsp - cornstarch
1 tsp - vanilla extract
¼ tsp - almond extract
1 cup - rolled oats
¾ cup - oat flour
1 cup - brown sugar
⅓ cup - vegan butter
½ tsp - salt
½ tsp - cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish.
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.
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.
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!
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.
