Ingredients
- 750 grams Fresh cherries, pitted
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 125 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 90 grams Butter, cold and cubed
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat the cherries evenly, then set aside.
Step 3
In another bowl, prepare the crumble topping. Mix the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, almond flour, and salt together.
Step 4
Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Transfer the cherry mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crumble topping generously over the cherries, ensuring an even layer that fully covers the fruit.
Step 7
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
