Notes
- Fresh or frozen cherries both work well for this recipe.
- If using frozen cherries, thaw and drain them first to avoid excess liquid.

- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a 325 degree oven for about 10 minutes to help keep the topping crisp.
