Ingredients
  

For the Cherry Filling
  • 4 cups Cherry Pie Filling Use fresh cherries for a lighter option; adjust sugar based on natural sweetness.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Can reduce if using sweet cherry pie filling.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Substitute with tapioca starch for a different texture.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed juice is best.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Use pure vanilla for optimal taste.
For the Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Swap with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • 1 cup Rolled Oats Quick oats can be a substitute but may alter texture.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Light brown sugar can be used interchangeably with dark.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Omit if desired, or replace with nutmeg for a different spice.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Leave out if on a sodium-restricted diet.
  • 1/2 cup Cold Cubed Butter Use vegan butter for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Homemade Cherry Crumble
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cherry pie filling, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until blended and transfer to the greased baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Incorporate cold cubed butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherry filling in the baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until topping is golden brown and filling bubbles.
  6. Allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, preferably with ice cream or whipped cream.
