Equipment
- 8" x 8" Square pan
Ingredients
- 2 cups cherries (fresh or frozen) pitted & cut in half
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Flour Mixture
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted & cooled
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place parchment paper with overhanging edges on the bottom of the 8"x 8" pan (this will help when removing the crumble bar from the pan later). Grease the sides with cooking flour spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl: add halves cherries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Mix everything together and set aside until ready to use.
- In a another bowl: combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and mix. Add melted butter and mix everything together until you form a crumble mixture. Reserve ¼ of the mixture & set aside.
- Add the rest of the mixture to the pan and press to the bottom to form the crust (use a measuring cup to press down). Spread and level out the cherries filling on top of the crust. Sprinkle the reserved mixture on top filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crumble is lightly golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let cool completely for at least 2 hours in the pan. Cut into 9 pieces.
