Cherry Crisp (Vegan)
Author: Alisa Fleming
Ingredients
- 1 pound cherries
- 1 cup dairy free margarine or shortening (such as Earth Balance)
- 1¼ cup raw unrefined sugar
- ¼ cup unbleached white flour
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Dairy free ice cream of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine cherries, ½ cup of the margarine, and ¾ cup of the sugar in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the cherries are soft and tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cherries to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Sift together the flours, the remaining ½ cup of sugar, and the almond extract. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the remaining margarine into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread the flour mixture over the cherries and bake for 12 minutes.
- Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
