Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Place the cherries in a medium heat‑proof dish (about 28 cm) and mix them with the sugar, lemon and vanilla. Set aside.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 200 °C/180 °C with convection/gas 4. Add the flour and butter to a bowl and rub together with your fingers to form a fine crumbly mixture. Add salt, brown sugar, oats and most of the almonds, and mix. Pour the mixture over the cherries in the dish, then sprinkle the remaining almonds on top.

3. 3

   Bake the crumble in the centre of the oven for 30‑35 minutes, until the top becomes golden‑brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
