How to Make Sour Cherry Crumble

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, gently toss 4 cups of sour cherries with 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish (approximately 8x8 inches or a similar sized pie dish).
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup demerara sugar.
Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cherries.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or cold with a dollop of whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or custard.
