Delightful Cherry Almond Crisp in a Mug

Ingredients

- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon sliced almonds
- A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
- In a microwave-safe mug, combine 1 cup of fresh, pitted, and halved cherries with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract.
- Stir the mixture well to coat the cherries evenly. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the sugar to dissolve and the flavors to blend.

2. Prepare the Topping:
- In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of rolled oats, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
- Cut 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter into the mixture, using your fingers or a fork, until you achieve a crumbly texture.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds for extra crunch and flavor.

3. Assemble the Mug Crisp:
- Spoon the prepared oat and almond topping over the cherry mixture in the mug, ensuring an even layer.

4. Microwave Cooking:
- Place the mug in the microwave and cook on high power for approximately 3 minutes, or until the cherry juices are bubbling and the topping is golden.
- Note: Microwave power may vary, so check the crisp after 2 minutes to prevent overcooking.

5. Serve:
- Allow the mug to cool for a couple of minutes after microwaving to avoid burns.
- Enjoy your cherry almond crisp directly from the mug or transfer it to a small plate for a more refined presentation.
