Ingredients
- ¼ cup dried cherries if the cherries are large, cut them in half
- ¼ cup amaretto or almond flavored liquor such as DiSarronno
- 3 ripe peaches peeled, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup cherries pitted and sliced
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar divided

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Add dried cherries and amaretto to a small bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds to warm amaretto and set aside to allow cherries to absorb some of the amaretto and plump.
- Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt to a small bowl Toss to combine. Cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse meal. Add oatmeal and almonds and toss to combine. Set aside.
- Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in a small cast iron skillet over medium heat. Scoop the macerated dried cherries out of the Amaretto and add it to the pan along with the sliced peaches, cherries and remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Add the cornstarch to the reserved Amaretto and stir to combine.
- Add the Amaretto slurry to the peach mixture and heat until the liquid is bubbly and thickened slightly. Remove pan from heat and sprinkle crisp mixture over the fruit.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream while warm.
