#2661 - Sour Cherry Crisp

(by Shirley McNevich)

4 cups sour cherries (pitted--measure after pitting)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
4 TBSP flour + 1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup Quaker quick oats
1 cup Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup Crisco shortening

In a bowl add pitted cherries, white sugar and 4 TBSP flour--stir carefully to mix. Spread the cherry mixture into the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. In a separate bowl add 1 1/2 cups flour, quick oats, brown sugar and butter--mix with a pastry blender to make crumbs. Sprinkle all of the crumb mixture evenly over the cherry mixture. Bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes--topping should be browned.
