Ingredients
- 36 ounces frozen dark cherries, no sugar added thawed (3 12-ounce bags)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, toss cherries with lemon juice and vanilla. Add granulated sugar and ¼ cup flour and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine remaining 1 ¼ cups flour, oats, brown sugar, ¼ cup sliced almonds, and salt. Work in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the fruit. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

Notes
Storage - Cover the cooled baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and store it in the fridge. It will be at its best if consumed within 3 or 4 days. Leftovers are delicious served cold or at room temperature, but I love this dessert served slightly warm. Reheat individual servings for about 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave.
