Description

This easy Cherry Crisp Recipe has a sweet, spiced, fruity filling and a golden, crisp topping. Simple and quick, it’s a delicious dessert perfect for summer and beyond! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups fresh or frozen sweet cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup

For the Crisp Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons butter


Instructions

  1. Spray a 9-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Add the pitted cherries, arrowroot starch, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and maple syrup to a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined and then transfer to the prepared skillet.
  3. Next, make the crisp topping. Add the oats, almond flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and butter to a mixing bowl (you can use the same bowl you used to mix the filling). Use your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a clumpy crumble topping.
  4. Bake the crumble at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown (you can add a sheet of tinfoil if the top is browing too fast) and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
