How To Make homemade cherry crisp

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Drain cherries, reserving one cup of the juice from the cherries. Set aside.
Step 3

In a medium sauce pan, add 3/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Whisk together well, removing any lumps. Add cherry juice and cook over medium heat until smooth and thickened.
Step 4

Remove from heat. Gently fold in cherries, 1/2 cup sugar, butter, almond extract and food coloring. Pour into 9 X 13 casserole dish. Sprinkle evenly with topping and bake for 25 minutes or until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. You may serve this warm with vanilla ice cream or plain at room temperature. Store in refrigerator.
Step 5

FOR THE TOPPING: Add flour, sugars, and cinnamon into a small bowl and mix, removing any lumps. Cut butter into pieces and add to flour mixture. Cut in with a pastry cutter or use your fingers until mixture resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle over filling.
