Cherry Almond Crisp Delight (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cherry base

01 - 7 heaping cups frozen cherries
02 - 1/4 cup maple syrup
03 - 1 tbsp lemon juice
04 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
05 - 1 tbsp arrowroot powder or cornstarch (optional but recommended)

→ Crisp topping

06 - 1.5 cups rolled oats
07 - 1 cup finely chopped sliced almonds
08 - 1.5 cups almond flour
09 - 1/4 tsp salt
10 - 1/2 cup maple syrup
11 - 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
12 - 1 tsp almond extract

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 - In a large bowl, mix together frozen cherries, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Add arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) and toss until evenly coated. Transfer the cherry mixture into a 9×9-inch baking dish or a 10.25-inch cast iron skillet.
03 - In another bowl, mix together rolled oats, chopped almonds, almond flour, and salt. Stir in maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and almond extract until the mixture is well combined.
04 - Evenly sprinkle the prepared crisp topping over the cherry mixture, ensuring most of the cherries are covered.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 55–60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. For extra crispiness, broil for a few minutes at the end.
06 - Let the crisp cool for 15 minutes before serving. Pair with vanilla ice cream if desired. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
