In another large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and salt. Stir until well combined and crumbly.
1 ½ Cups Rolled Oats, ¾ Cup All-Purpose Flour, ½ Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, 8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, melted, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
Toss the cherry mixture once more ensuring that there are no dry spots at the bottom of the bowl. Then, pour the cherries into the prepared 8x8-inch paking pan. Top evenly with the oat crumble an use your hands to gently press the crumble down.
Bake in a 350*F oven for 65-70 minutes or until the sides are bubbling and the oat crumble is golden brown. Cool slightly before serving on it's own or with a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

Allowing the cherries time to defrost slightly while you make the crumble is a crucial step to this recipe! The sugar and cornstarch need a little moisture to stick to the cherries. If you leave dry bits at the bottom, the crisp will not bake properly.

Also, be sure to toss the cherry mixture well once more just before pouring them into the baking pan to ensure there are no dry bits.
