Ingredients
- 1kg fresh cherries, pitted
- 50g golden caster sugar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the topping
- 150g plain flour
- 100g cold butter
- ½ tsp salt
- 70g soft brown sugar
- 100g rolled oats
- 40g flaked almonds
- ice cream, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the cherries into a medium-sized ovenproof dish (around 28cm) and mix with the sugar, lemon and vanilla. Set aside.
- STEP 2
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour and butter into a mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips to create a fine, breadcrumb-like mixture. Stir through the salt, brown sugar, oats and most of the almonds. Tip over the cherry mixture, then top with the remaining almonds.
- STEP 3
Bake the crumble in the centre of the oven for 30-35 mins or until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
