Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Stir sugar and cornstarch together in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cold water and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Stir in cherry pie filling and almond extract. Set aside to cool.

Step 3

Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in margarine or butter until mixture is evenly crumbly. Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
