Ingredients for Fresh Cherry Crumble
You will need the following:
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 4 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, cut into small cubes
How to Make Fresh Cherry Crumble
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
STEP TWO: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, stir together the cherries, water, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and set aside.
STEP THREE: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, oats, and pecans. Add the cubed butter to the bowl. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. The mixture should have a crumbly texture with pea-sized lumps of butter throughout. Sprinkle the topping over the cherry mixture.
STEP FOUR: Bake, uncovered for 25 minutes, then lightly cover with foil to prevent excess browning and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. (Total baking time = 40 minutes.)
STEP FIVE: Cool until the filling stops bubbling and serve warm.
