This cherry pie recipe eliminates the need to go through the trouble of preparing a pie crust from scratch! The filling for this recipe may be made using either frozen or fresh sour cherries, and it can be prepared quickly on the stove. The crust and crumble topping are created using a same batter prepared in one dish. An almond frosting drizzle serves as an ideal flavor-enhancing final addition. Ensure that the baked goods have fully cooled prior to applying frosting and slicing.
Ingredients
1.5 cups (188g) of all-purpose flour, measured by spooning and leveling.
1 cup (85g) plus 2 tablespoons (11g) of old-fashioned whole rolled oats, separated
0.5 cups (100 grams) Use either light or dark brown sugar that is tightly compressed.
1 tsp of baking powder
1 tsp lemon zest
0.125 teaspoons of salt
10 tablespoons (142g) of melted unsalted butter
1 tsp of undiluted vanilla essence
Cherry Completion
1.5 tablespoons, equivalent to 11 grams Cornstarch
3.5 cups (525g) of frozen sour cherries, without thawing
0.5 cups (100g) of granulated sugar
1 tsp of freshly squeezed lemon juice
0.25 teaspoons of almond extract
Almond Icing (Optional)
1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
2 tablespoons (30ml) of milk
0.25 teaspoons of almond extract
Directions :
Set the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Place a sheet of parchment paper in a 9-inch square baking pan, ensuring that it extends beyond the edges of the pan. This will allow you to easily remove the bars from the pan. Put aside.
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup (85g) oats, brown sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Mix them together using a whisk. Incorporate the liquefied butter and vanilla into the mixture, stirring until it takes on the texture of damp, crumbly sand without any areas that are still dry. The amount of crust mixture you will have is little over 3 cups, which is around 520 grams. Press two-thirds of the mixture, about two cups or 345 grams (precise measurement not required), onto the baking pan that has been prepared. Apply pressure to the mixture in the pan using your hands, a big spoon or spatula, or the bottom of a measuring cup in order to shape it into a crust. Place in the oven and bake for a duration of 10 minutes. Afterward, take it out of the oven and allow it to cool somewhat.
