Ingredients:
For the Cherry Filling:
2 cups cherries, pitted
½ cup organic cane sugar
Ginger syrup (made from fresh ginger and sugar, heated until syrupy)
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
Fresh lemon juice, squeezed over cherries
For the Crumble Topping Crust:
1 cup rolled oats
½ cup flour
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold butter, cut into pieces
½ cup organic cane sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
Pink salt (to taste)
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins.
Prepare the Cherries: In a bowl, combine the pitted cherries with ½ cup of organic cane sugar, ginger syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Toss the cherries until they're well coated in this flavorful mixture.
Create the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, cold butter pieces, ½ cup of organic cane sugar, ¼ teaspoon of salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of pink salt. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and clumps together.
Assemble the Cobbler: Pour the prepared cherry mixture into the greased baking dish or ramekins, spreading it out evenly.
Add the Topping: Generously sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherries, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
Bake to Perfection: Place the dish or ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes or until the cherry filling is bubbling, and the topping is golden brown.
Serve with Love: Remove the cobbler from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for that perfect balance of hot and cold, sweet and spiced.
