  • 2 tbsp brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Topping:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or large deep dish pie pan.
  • Make the filling: Toss together all filling ingredients in a large mixing bowl until well combined. Pour into the prepared pan.
  • Make the topping: In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined.

Notes

  • This cherry crisp is perfect for summer and has hints of lime as well!
  • I used frozen cherries that I thawed overnight in the fridge. If you use frozen cherries, make sure they are completely thawed, and well drained.
  • This cherry crisp keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days!
