Ingredients:
- 6 cups (900g) sour cherries, pitted
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
- 3 tbsp (25g) cornstarch
- 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
- 3/4 cup (95g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup (113g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, toss the pitted sour cherries with lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the mixture and stir gently until the cherries are evenly coated and no white powder remains.
- Transfer the mixture into a 9x9 inch baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cubed cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized lumps.
- Scatter the crumble evenly over the cherry filling, ensuring you cover the edges to prevent the fruit from boiling over.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 40-45 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the topping is deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the filling to finish thickening.
