Simple cherry crumble is an easy dessert that is perfect for any day. Crispy almond-oat topping coats juicy, sweet dark cherry filling for a delicious sweet treat. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This dessert is gluten-free.
Place the pitted cherries in a large mixing bowl with two tablespoons of light brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the cherries.
Combine the oats, almond flour, remaining light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped almonds in a separate mixing bowl. Rub the softened butter into the oat mixture until a crumbly texture forms.
Spread the cherry mixture in the base of an 8-inch square baking pan.
Sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherry mixture, ensuring the cherries are covered.
Bake the crumble for 25-30 minutes until the fruit filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
If using frozen cherries, add an additional tablespoon of cornstarch.
