Use your fingers to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the cherry filling in the baking dish.

Notes

Fresh or Frozen Cherries: Both fresh and frozen cherries work well for this recipe. If using frozen cherries, there's no need to thaw them before mixing with the other filling ingredients.

Rest Before Serving: Allow the cherry crisp to cool slightly before serving. This will help the filling set a bit.

Even Distribution: Ensure the crisp topping is evenly spread across the cherry filling. This ensures that every bite has the perfect balance of fruit and crisp topping.

Right Baking Dish: The baking dish I used was a 5 x 6 inch rectangle, which was ideal for the amount I made. Use the right dish that gives the desired amount of filling and topping.

Corn Flour: The flour absorbs liquid from cherries and helps thicken up the fruit mixture. If you skip the flour the additional liquid that cooks out of cherry makes the crisp topping soggy.
