Mini Cherry Crumbles

 

4 C. sliced, pitted sweet cherries

1 T. fresh lemon juice

¾ C. lightly packed brown sugar

½ C. flour

4 T. cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

¾ C. old fashioned oats

¼ tsp. salt

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray four individual 8oz ramekins with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, toss the cherries with the lemon juice. Spoon about 1 C. cherries into each ramekin (you should be filling each ramekin to the top with cherries). In another bowl, mix together the brown sugar, flour, oats and salt. Using your fingers, mix in the butter until well incorporated. Spoon about ¼ C. topping onto each ramekin—don’t be shy here! The more streusel the better. (You should have some leftover streusel topping) Bake cherry crumbles for about 25-30 minutes until topping is golden brown. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream! You can also make this in an 8” casserole dish if you don’t have individual 8oz dishes.
