Sour cherry and almond crumble

This sour cherry and almond crumble is delicious all year round, although I like making it during advent because the spices smell very Christmassy. This recipe can very easily be vegan (just use plant-based spread), and for a gluten-free version use appropriate oat and flour.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pack about 400g sour cherries, defrosted
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 2 Tbsp muscovados sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cherry brandy optional
  • 1 handful almond flakes
  • For the crumble:
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1 cup flour
  • 50 g soft butter or dairy-free spread approx.
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp muscovado sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Spread the sour cherries in a baking dish, including their liquid. If you’re using fresh fruits, add half a cup of cherry juice to it. Scatter the almonds on top.
  3. In a bowl, rub the butter/spread with the flour, oats, sugar & cinnamon until you get lumpy, sticky crumble. Add more butter/margarine if it feels too dry.
  4. Cover the fruits with the crumble, slightly pressing it down with the base of a spoon.
  5. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve warm.
