Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
Pour the can of cherry pie filling into a microwave-safe dish. The size should be about 8 in. x 8 in.
Step 2
In a different bowl, mix together the oats, coconut, flour, almond extract, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Step 3
Add 2 Tablespoons of butter to the bowl. Mix the butter in with the dry mixture. At first she kept trying to chop the butter with a knife into little pieces and eventually she just used her fingers to break it up and mix it.
Step 4
Put the mixture on top of the cherry pie filling. Microwave for about 7 minutes. Let the cherry pie cool for about 10 minutes before serving it.
Final result!
Serve it warm by itself or with a scoop of ice cream. She had fun making it and loved all of the compliments she got about how delicious it was!
