Ingredients
2 (21-ounce) cans cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
0.75 cup melted unsalted butter
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup old-fashioned oats
0.33 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.25 cup cold unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread the cherry pie filling into the baking dish and stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
Whisk together the cake mix, flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until crumbly, then sprinkle the dry mix evenly over the cherry base.
Drizzle the melted butter over the entire top layer.
Bake for 50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.
Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven to ensure the streusel topping regains its crispiness.
