Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

10 tips når du lager kirsebærskarp:

Bruk friske eller tint frosne kirsebær - enten fungerer bra, men tapp overflødig juice fra frosne.
Juster sukker basert på kirsebærens terning.
Mandelekstrakt forbedrer kirsebærsmaken - ikke hopp over den!
Hold smøret kaldt for en knasende, smuldrende topping.
Bruk hendene dine til å smuldre toppen jevnt for bedre tekstur.
Legg en spiseskje hakkede nøtter i toppen for knase og rikdom.
Ikke overbake eller frukten kan bli grøtete - se etter boblende kanter og gylden topping.
La det avkjøles i 10–15 minutter før du serverer for å tykne saftene.
Topp med vaniljeis eller pisket krem for ekstra overbærenhet.
Oppbevar rester dekket i kjøleskapet og varm opp forsiktig i ovnen eller mikrobølgeovnen.

Server det med forslag:

En øse med vaniljebønne -iskrem
Nypisket krem med et snev av mandelekstrakt
Gresk yoghurt for en lett vri
En duskregn honning eller lønnesirup
Ristede mandler eller pekannøtter drysset på toppen
Kanel-støvet varm melk eller latte
En varm bærkompott skje over toppen
Vaniljesaus eller crème anglaise
