Ingredients

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup, plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups pitted frozen cherries, thawed
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar and 3 tablespoons flour. Add the cherries, tossing gently to coat. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, and remaining 1/4 cup flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the almonds. Sprinkle evenly over the cherry mixture. Bake until hot and bubbly and the topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
