1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup old fashioned oats
3 tablespoons softened butter
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1 pinch salt

Directions

1

Mix the cherries, sugar, zest, and vanilla in a bowl, and spread evenly in a heavy baking dish. Set aside while you make the topping.
2

Combine the flour, oats, sugar, and spices.

Add the butter, and mix with your fingers until it becomes a crumb texture.

Bake at 400 for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the cherries are bubbling up at the sides. Tip: put a baking sheet on the rack below, so any spills don't burn onto the bottom of the oven.
