Ingredients

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 4 cups pitted tart red cherries
• 0.5 cup butter, melted
• 0.75 cup quick-cooking oats

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, and cinnamon together in a bowl until crumbly. Press half the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan; top with cherries.

Step 3

Combine water, white sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir until sugar dissolves and syrup is clear, about 5 minutes. Pour syrup over cherries; top with remaining brown sugar-oat mixture.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until topping is brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes.
