Sweet cherries take center stage in this rustic American crumble, simmered with lemon juice until delightfully juicy before baking. A topping of whole oats, almond flour, and sliced almonds turns beautifully golden and crisp in the oven. It is a wholesome, lightly sweetened treat that fills the kitchen with the aroma of toasted nuts and cinnamon.

Method

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch square ceramic baking dish using a small dab of the chilled unsalted butter.

  2. 2

    Add the organic sweet cherries, water, and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup to a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cherries soften and create a rich, tart syrup.

  3. 3

    While the fruit simmers, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, sliced almonds, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining cubed unsalted butter and the remaining 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the dry ingredients. Rub together with your fingertips for about 3 minutes until crumbly, pebbly clusters form.

  5. 5

    Pour the warm cherry mixture with all of its juices evenly into the prepared baking dish.

  6. 6

    Scatter the oat and almond crumble topping evenly over the cherries, pressing lightly so the clusters hold together.

  7. 7

    Bake at 375°F for 20 to 22 minutes until the cherry filling bubbles vigorously along the edges and the crumble topping is deeply golden and fragrant. Cool for 5 minutes before scooping into bowls.

Tip

Leftovers keep well covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to re-crisp the crumb topping.
