- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- ¾ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- Scant ½ teaspoon fine sea salt

For the Blueberry Filling:

- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons corn starch
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Zest and juice of a lemon
- ¾ teaspoon pure almond or vanilla extract
Instructions

To Make the Crisp Topping:
- Add the brown sugar, flour, ground cinnamon (if using), oats, and salt to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.

Assemble, Bake, and Cool:
- Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the crumble across the top and bake for 30 minutes, until the topping is a deep golden brown and the edges are bubbly.
- Remove the crisp from the oven and allow to cool for about 20 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
*You can use fresh or frozen cherries. However, if frozen cherries are used, make sure they are entirely dethawed, and excess juices are allowed to drain before using.
You can dethaw frozen cherries by placing them in the refrigerator overnight or by allowing them to sit out at room temperature for about 4 hours.
