French Cherry Crumble Food

CHERRY CRUMBLE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar.
• In a medium bowl, toss cherries with 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Sprinkle the top with your flour/sugar mixture and stir to evenly coat cherries. Transfer cherries to a 9x13 or 9x12 baking dish.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine: 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/8 tsp salt. Pulse to combine. Add 1 stick diced cold butter and pulse until butter is pea-sized.
• Transfer mixture to a medium bowl, add 1/2 cup oats and use your hands to make large crumbs, rubbing the mixture between your fingers. Add 1/2 cup shaved almonds and toss to combine.
• Spread the crumble topping evenly over the cherries and sprinkle on the second 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Bake uncovered at 350˚F for 45 minutes, or until almonds are golden brown and cherry juices are bubbling at the edges. Let crumble cool at least 15 minutes before serving; cherry juices will thicken as it cools.
