Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC (350ºF).
- Split and scrape the vanilla seeds from the bean. Toss the cherries, sugar, cornflour and vanilla seeds in a large bowl and pour into a 30cm round baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl add the flour, oats, sugar, and butter and rub together to make crumbs; sprinkle them over the fruit, spreading evenly.
- Bake for about 25', until the topping is golden brown. Set aside to cool.
