Instructions
Make the crumble
- In a food processor, or in a large bowl using a pastry cutter, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, egg, vanilla extract, almond extract and about 1/2 of the almonds. Add the butter pieces, pulse, or blend until the mixture is combined, and crumbly.

Make the filling
- In a large bowl, mix together the halved cherries, sugar and cornstarch. Divide the cherry mixture among the jars.
Topping
- Mix the remaining almonds with the remaining crumble, and add 2-3 rounded tablespoons of crumble to each jar. Press crumble mixture down lightly to keep it in place.
Bake
- Place the jars (2 inches apart) on a baking sheet, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops of the crumble start to turn golden brown.
- Enjoy crumble warm, or cool. Top with whipped cream, or vanilla ice cream if desired.
