Sour Cherry Granola Crumble Recipe

With bright and tart, black sour cherries in season, we celebrated this delicious fruit by making a cherry granola crumble (amongst many other things)!

Sour cherries have a short 2-week period in late July, making them a rare and prized fruit. Because they're highly perishable, they're mainly grown for commercial use. If you peek at your farmer's market or pass a U-Pick Farm whilst they're in season, you may be able to get your hands on some sour cherries!

When roasted, sour cherries begin to caramelize, rounding out their sharp flavors while still offering a slightly acidic bite. Finished off with a buttery crumble topping made of our vanilla bean granola with honey, this cherry crumble is a perfect balance of buttery, sweet, and tart. Use this simple recipe to make the most of your sour cherries this summer.
