To begin, wash and chop your apples into small pieces.You can peel the apples, or leave the skins on for extra fiber - they will soften during the baking process. In a large bowl, pour in the chopped apples and frozen cherries.Add in the flour, honey, the zest and juice from ½ a lemon, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir thoroughly and set aside. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt.
Preheat your oven to 350℉.
Slightly melt the butter in the microwave - there should still be some big chunks of butter that are whole.Add the semi-melted butter to your dry ingredients. The mixture should be slightly moist and resemble wet sand, with small clumps. Use a fork to slightly smash the cherries into smaller pieces.Pour the fruit filling mix into a pie dish or baking dish. Top the fruit with the crisp topping. Slightly press the topping down using the back of a spoon; it doesn't have to be perfectly even. Bake, uncovered, for 50 - 55 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the fruit layer is bubbling around the edges and the crumble topping is golden brown. Let the pan rest for at least 5 minutes so the filling can set and slightly cool down.
Serve on its own, or with vanilla bean ice cream on top. Enjoy!
Tips & Tricks:
By Step 6, the frozen cherries should be slightly defrosted. Use a fork to chop or smash the thawed berries into smaller pieces. This makes a more cohesive bite of filling after baking.
Storage Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, you can microwave or add it to an oven-safe bowl and pop it in the toaster oven for a few minutes to get the crumble top crunchy again.
