Individual Oaty Cherry Crumbles

Ingredients

• 160g fresh cherries - pitted
• 3 tbsp caster sugar
• 10ml water
• 1tbsp corn flour
• 30g butter
• 30g demerara sugar
• 40g rolled oats
• 2 tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius / gas mark 6 / 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add the pitted cherries and water to a saucepan on medium heat and for 5 minutes. Then add in the caster sugar and cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring regularly. Add in the corn flour, stir the mixture and leave for a further 2 minutes to thicken.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, add the butter, demerara sugar and flour. Rub the ingredients together until they make a coarse mixture (don't worry about making it too even.) Then stir in the rolled oats and cinnamon.
4. Add the cherry mixture to an oven proof dish (or ramekins if you are making individual dishes) and top with the crumble mixture, adding just enough to cover all of the cherry mixture.
5. Put in the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is a light golden-brown.
