Ingredients

Scale

1 cup flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup light brown sugar (lightly packed)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling or fresh cherries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Add cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour cherry pie filling into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Top with the crumble mixture without pressing down.
Bake for 40–50 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling bubbles at the edges.
Let cool for 15–20 minutes before serving.
