Cherry Orange Crisp

• For the filling:
• 4 cakes cherries, pitted and quartered
• 1 shot sugar
• 1 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste (extract will work too)
• For the crumb topping:
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
• 3 tablespoons softened butter
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
• 1 pinch salt

1. Mix the cherries, sugar, zest, and vanilla in a bowl, and spread evenly in a heavy baking dish. Set aside while you make the topping.
2. Combine the flour, oats, sugar, and spices.
3. Add the butter, and mix with your fingers until it becomes a crumb texture.
4. Bake at 400 for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy, and the cherries are bubbling up at the sides. Tip: put a baking sheet on the rack below, so any spills don't burn onto the bottom of the oven.
