How to Make Cherry Crunch

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Cut in 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a greased 1-quart microwave-safe baking dish, combine 1 (15-ounce) can cherry pie filling and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
  5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the pie filling.
  6. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 6-8 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Microwave ovens vary, so check for doneness at 6 minutes and continue in 1-minute intervals as needed.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving. Top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence!
