Step-by-Step Instructions for Homemade Cherry Crisp

Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
Wash about 4 cups of dark sweet cherries, pit and slice them in half. Place them evenly in a baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of oats, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the prepared cherries in the baking dish.
Bake for about 45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the cherries are bubbling at the edges.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
