Ingredients

  • 31 ounces unsweetened cherries in juice
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp instant clearjel (you can also use cornstarch)
  • 2 tsp almond extract, divided
  • 15 ounce box French vanilla cake mix
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, melted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. To make the cherry filling, put the cherries and their juice into a saucepan and begin heating on medium high.
  3. Whisk together the sugar and thickener (either instant clearjel or cornstarch) and stir into the cherries.
  4. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil and has thickened. Add 1 teaspoon of the almond extract, saving the rest for the topping.
  5. Pour the cherries into your 9x13 baking pan.
  6. Put the cake mix, oats, and allmond in a bowl and toss to combine.
  7. Melt the butter and add the rest of the almond extract. Drizzle the butter over the cake mix and stir well. It helps to use your fingers to combine everything into a coarse crumbly texture. Keep mixing until no dry flour remains.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the cherries.
  9. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the cherries are bubbling. Serve warm with ice cream.
