Cherry Crisp

Here is the recipe for my cherry crisp, as promised. :) It is super delicious cold, but also very good straight from the oven with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also like to add a little granola, if I have it, into the crisp topping. 

Ingredients:
Cherry filling:                                                                        Crisp topping:

½ -¾ cup sugar                                                                   1 stick butter

3 Tbsp. cornstarch                                                             ¾ cup brown sugar

2 cans Tart Red Cherries in water                                ½ tsp. cinnamon

                                                                                                    1 cup GF quick oats

                                                                                                    ½ cup sliced almonds

Directions:

1. Drain cherries and reserve the juice from ONLY one can.
2. In a saucepan, stir the cherry juice into the combined mixture of cornstarch and sugar.
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the cherries.
5. Pour the cherry mixture into a 9x9 baking dish.
6. For the crisp topping, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, GF quick oats, and sliced almonds. Cut the butter into the mixture. (It will start to clump.)
7. Once it is crumbly and clumpy, spread the mixture on the top of the cherries.
8. Bake at 350˚ for about 40-45 minutes.
