Servings: 10
Equipment
- 1 8x8 pan casserole dish
Ingredients
- 4 c cherries tart or pie cherries, pitted (if another type is used you'll need less sugar)
- 2/3 c sugar or more if you taste and want it sweeter
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 c oats not instant
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1/2 c butter softened
- 1/2 c shortening
- 1.5 c flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375. Pit cherries and put into a bowl with sugar, cornstarch, lemon and vanilla extract. Gently stir together so cherries are coated. Let this set while you're preparing the rest.
- In another bowl combine your 1.5 c of all purpose flour with brown sugar, and old fashioned oats. Stir together.
- Add softened butter and shortening. Use a fork to cut this into the dry mixture so it becomes softened (like wet sand).
- Spray the inside of a 2 quart baking dish with non stick spray. (could use 8x8 pan but this size was best)
- Spread cherries on bottom of pan evenly. Then sprinkle oat mixture on top of that evenly. Cover with foil.
- Bake for 35 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until top crisp is lightly brown.
- Take out and allow to sit for 5-10 minutes so it can thicken. Scoop out and serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.
