Ingredients

• 2 cups cherries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe 8x8-inch dish or similar-sized container, combine the cherries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Mix well to coat the cherries evenly. Set the dish aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Pour the melted butter and vanilla extract (if using) into the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.

Step 4

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the cherries in the microwave-safe dish, ensuring full coverage of the fruit layer.

Step 5

Place the dish in the microwave and cook on high for 4–5 minutes, or until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 6

Carefully remove the dish from the microwave using oven mitts, as it will be very hot.

Step 7

Allow the cherry crisp to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
